Podcasts about taksim gezi park

Bu programımızda Gezi Direnişi'ne İstanbul'un kültür mirasını koruma mücadelesi penceresinden bakıyoruz. 2013'te şehrin en önemli kamusal alanlarında birisi olan Gezi Parkı'nı tamamen ortadan kaldıracak Taksim yayalaştırma ve Topçu Kışlası'nın rekonstrüksiyonu projelerine karşı duranlar ve parkı korumaya çalışanlar tüm çeşitliliği ile kentliler oldu. Taksim Gezi Parkı'nın korunması çabası, kente katılım ve yurttaşlar olarak muhatap alınma haklarının ifade edildiği bir mücadele olarak tarihe geçti. Gezi'de direnenler bu parkın yıllar içinde biriken katmanlarıyla şekillenmiş özgün ruhu ve kimliği ile kentin kültürel mirasının bir parçası olarak korunması gerektiğini söyleyerek yola çıkmışlardı.

Our guest in this episode is curator, author, and educator Ana Devic. She is best known as a member of the curatorial collective What, How and for Whom (WHW). Formed in 1999, WHW is an exemplary case in the history of curatorial studies.Ana Devic is also in charge of the international study program for young artists called WHW Akademija based in Zagreb. With Ana, we'll further our exploration into other modes of engaging with artistic practice and hear about other possibilities, within and through art and politics. Her take on collectivity, as a spark rather than a value in and of itself; her emphasis on encounters and accessibility, and formal and informal modes of learning were really thought-provoking.EPISODE NOTES AND LINKSThis episode's conversation is part of the collaborative project ‘Communities of Learning, Bridging the Gap of Isolation', initiated by WHW and supported by the Culture of Solidarity Fund of the European Cultural Foundation.Ana Devic is a curator, writer, and teacher Ana Dević and a member of the curatorial collective What, How and from Whom (WHW). https://www.whw.hr/novosti/index.html#Formed in 1999, the curatorial collective What, How and for Whom (WHW) is an exemplary case in the history of curatorial studies. They were one of the pioneer groups who were influential in saving curatorial practice from going obsolete in a moment in which author curators (often white and male) reluctant to operate in plural forms were dominating the field of contemporary art. It's members are Ivet Ćurlin, Ana Dević, Nataša Ilić, Sabina Sabolović and designer and publicist Dejan Kršić. Based in Zagreb, WHW Academija is an international study program for young artists.

Before setting up this experimental education project, Nato was the artistic director of Philadelphia Contemporary and a key figure at Creative Time, New York's influential organization focusing on art in public space.You will listen to Nato reflecting on that shift, from working within institutions to setting up one's own. His insights on the inner workings of the art industry are totally thought-provoking. And it's the first time we are talking about NFT's at Ahali!

27 Mayıs 2013'te Gezi olayları başlatılmıştı. Taksim/Gezi Parkı ve birkaç ağaç üzerinden planlanan kurgu ile sadece hükümet değil, rejim değişikliği senaryosu uygulamaya konulmuştu. Bir iç çatışma, iç savaş tezi yürütülüyordu. Sokak terörünü, etnik ve mezhep eksenli çatışmaya ayarlı bir şekilde bütün ülkeye yayıyorlardı. İstanbul'da sokaklar ateşe veriliyor, Dolmabahçe'de Başbakanlık Ofisi hedef alınıyor, Altunizade'de maskeli kişiler yol kontrolü yapıyor, binlerce insan Kadıköy'den Köprü'ye yürütülüyor ve bu isyan Anadolu'da birçok şehirde örgütleniyordu.

İnsan Hakları Konuşmaları serimizde bu kez yeniden görülmeye başlanan Gezi Davası'nın avukatlarından, insan hakları savunucusu Hürrem Sönmez'i dinliyoruz. Demokrasi demek sadece birkaç yılda bir sandığa gitmek demek değildir, düşünce ve ifade hürriyetinden barışçıl toplantı ve gösteri hakkına kadar temel hak ve hürriyetlerin güvence altında olduğu bir yönetim biçimidir. Sekiz yıl önce Taksim Gezi Parkı'nda başlayan ve tüm Türkiye'ye yayılan Gezi Parkı protestolarına İçişleri Bakanlığı verilerine göre yaklaşık dört milyon yurttaş katıldı. İstanbul Cumhuriyet Savcılığının 2014 yılında başlattığı soruşturmaya istinaden açılan ceza davasında yargılanan 11 sanık hakkında verilen beraat kararı İstinaf Mahkemesi tarafından bozuldu ve anayasal düzeni yıkmaya teşebbüs suçlamasıyla yargılama devam ediyor. Oysa barışçıl gösteri temel bir insan hakkıdır.

Türkiye'yi değiştiren Taksim Gezi Parkı İsyanı'nın yıldönümünde, Taksim Gezi Parkı Derneği'ni stüdyoda ağırlıyoruz.  Gezi Parkı'ndan kalan en önemli miraslardan biri olan parkın asıl sakinleri yani ağaçlar sayıldı, detaylandırıldı ve bir envanteri çıkarıldı. O detaylar gezparkimiz.net adresinden herkesin takibine ve kullanımına açıldı. Parkın ağaçlarını yakından bilmek isteyenler için Faruk Eğiş, Birkan Işın, Haluk Aykan ile birlikte bu envanter çalışmasını konuşuyoruz.     

Here, we present the first part of an interview with Merve Arkun, Hüseyin & Özgür, members of Devrimci Anarşist Faaliyet, or DAF. DAF translates to Revolutionist Anarchist Action and is a network of overlapping collectives in Turkey. They are based out of Istanbul and run an office and two cafe's, both called 26A, which is a meeting space and employer for collective members. This conversation was conducted on March 19, 2016, a few short hours after a DAESH (ISIS) bombing occurred in the Beyoğlu neighborhood of Istanbul, on the touristy street called İstiklal Avenue, just a few blocks from one of the collective's cafe's and their newspaper office. The bomb killed 5 people (4 tourists plus the bomber), and injured some 36 more. The tension in the city in the days before the bombing was palpable as trucks of riot police roved around the neighborhood, and embassies and foreign schools closed for security reasons. The approaching Newroz celebrations, or Kurdish New Years, were slated to take place a mere 2 days after this attack in the contentious Taksim Gezi Park so recently after the resumption of military and legal hostilities between Kurdish groups and aligned leftists and the Turkish government headed by the AK Party of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. This decision most certainly would promise demonstrations and conflict between security forces and civil society around the right to the contentious park, and against the war on the Kurds both in Syria and Turkey by Erdoğan's government. Besides the 26A cafes, DAF includes an Anarchist Women's collective, a publishing project in the form of the Meydan Gazette (published monthly in paper form), and a youth collective, the Lycee (or High School) Anarchist Federation called LAF. In addition it organizes arts events and projects, and participates in labor organizing and solidarity with Kurdish resistance and the Rojava Revolution. DAF also organizes in tandem though autonomously with anti-militarist and anti-conscription activists in Turkey. Merve is an active member of the Meydan Gazette publishing crew, the Anarchist Women's collective and also in a seperate but related anti-militarist group. Hüseyin is a main editor of the Meydan Gazette and involved in the 26A cafes. Özgür is involved in Meydan & the self-defense program and the PATIKA ecological collective. Throughout this first hour: Merve, Hüseyin & Özgür talk about the collectivized economic and living structures of DAF and how that pans out to support collective members and build collectivized models for survival within and against capitalism.
