About dollhouse will show you things you might not expect including powerhouse inspired dance. But first five years ago the whole world witnessed the violent crackdown on peaceful protests in istanbuls gazey park how much remains today that spirit of civil resistance. That anyone who was there will never forget it yes it will never be forgotten and. I can still feel it i can see if you still feel the force. Feel of it feel the union feel the light in peoples eyes at first it was the protest of the few against the partial destruction of istanbuls popular gazey park but soon it turned into a movement a new culture of protest devout believers atheists cuts all side by side. Bright guy able to yoda was there too. Shes written down her memories of this phase of solidarity and its brutal end. There was a young men with the girl swarthy black haired they were hand in hand and there were plenty of people behind them to guard the sunlight was on them they were shining then they came along the executioners that we already knew before that guy who is not able to say everything shed like to she says the situation for writers in turkey has worsened but guy he loves her country and she wants to keep writing in turkish weve been through a water summer in prison others have lost their jobs and had to leave the country. But we are still here we have our own minds we have our pens and we will never stop writing. The of the. Top books describe the changes in istanbul arab tourists an ever larger part of the urban mosaic the loss of Old Buildings steeped in memories districts losing my character on the edge of ones regime we want the government claims to be conservative islamic and nationalist. Here but they want to wipe out everything belonging to our past and recent history here on new york make me tired to. Taksim square new gazey park its now mostly concreted over protest and no longer permitted here instead there are new Construction Projects such as a mosque artists like high though if they are keeping the spirit of alive hes transformed the events back then into a giant mural a memorial to resistance and to the victims of police while and hes not selling his pictures on the chamber of architects supports him hes determined to remain independent. And some artists bowed to the governments cause. Fears are increasing that more and more artists will and gauge insult censorship. Personally i cant say thats the case for me. But thats probably due to my character. And the. President everyone has divided the country supporters of the autocrat stand behind him more strongly than ever his critics are either silenced or sent to prison. After the attempted coup in twenty sixteen thousands of intellectuals lost their jobs many have left the country like the well known actor and dr mostafa. He diagnosed as having a Narcissistic Personality Disorder and was then blacklisted he now lives in berlin hes pessimistic about turkeys future he thinks the west on the estimates added one and his compatriots have been blinded their eyes are painted they cannot see the facts they cannot see the reality they are not letting them to see as i hear this but now we are living in the twenty First Century open your eyes and look around. Is threatened with prison if he returns to turkey which is all the more reason for him to get involved in berlin he founded the istanbul Cultural Initiative to connect exiled turkish artist musician and filmmaker. Has been in berlin for longer he still went to the protests in his home country and filmed them the videos make up the background of his modern fairy tale. Not just one but many Red Ridinghood they join forces to defeat the big bad wolf right jep type of letter one. Its a parable full of hope but the spirit of gazey is not welcome with a long established berlin tax for big or how is this across market is reminiscent of istanbul hes annoyed that compactor it still lived in germany for so long still have set their hearts on the other one. I have a lot of good friends here at this market. But they have a worldview which doesnt allow them to ask any further questions why. Is it right what everyones doing they dont ask me. But theyre being confronted with it more and more the number of exiled turkish intellectuals coming to berlin. Its on the rise. And these are these are this is the professional class who are bringing their families with. Their children go to school here its less complicated than you think the effect it will have. There might be discussions like this one after the other its the domino effect. It could take a long time. Because long long up north says john nash but she is a dancer she didnt want to leave her country but after the guese protests there was no longer a place for her kind of performance she was almost a victim of a bomb attack in istanbul shes processed this trauma in a solo piece. Its. Just. Its like. Life is taking away from you know somehow all the opportunities of working producing sharing are taking away from you and then you realize that you cannot take your life as a dancer isnt easy and berlin ive heard yet shes optimistic she draws on the energy that came out of the guese protests and here she lives in safety if you are coming from. From where i come from its very safe and beautiful and theres hope for. The spirits of gazey even if these images are now part of the past the flickers of hope remain. Artists both in turkey and abroad carry this hope in their hearts. Because we experienced it once why shouldnt happen again. Turkish born toso met a hope to find a new home in germany but sixty years later hes come to a devastating conclusion about immigration and integration. In the forge of current. Istanbul this is where towson mary set off for germany sixty years ago he had a scholarship a place at university in munich and great expectations. For her id been to munich before and i liked what i saw. It was a new beginning a beautiful country modern and a leader in the field of science. And. Back then toss in mary couldnt anticipate the problems he would encounter in germany. His son journalist john merrick would write about them in a book decades later. Okey element of the book is the political discussions between father and son with towson standing up for the turkish president. But i think because i was thinking how can someone who is politically liberal left wing in germany defend these policies. Or when my father said what i think a lot of german turks think. Everyone has given me back my pride thats why i support him so i thought ive got to write this down. At first towson mary felt accepted in germany. When he looks back on his time as a student he speaks of tolerance and camaraderie. We moved im glad more. Like got a lot of invitations. He said friends who generously invited me to dinner offering me and were very surprised when i accepted it gladly. Dont see him going to. University he fell in love with maria a fellow student. The two got married in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight and had two sons john and his brother keenan. Intercultural marriages were not common at that time. Maria recalls how skeptical her bavarian family was about her marriage to towson. My father. My father he distanced himself when we went out to visit there to celebrate a birthday or another occasion. I felt that our relationship was no longer the same. It had changed. In the meantime the recruitment agreement between germany and turkey was in full swing between one nine hundred sixty one and one nine hundred seventy three around nine hundred thousand Migrant Workers came to west germany. To go to. Come. Here and increasing hostility toward turkish people crept into German Society there many family felt it too when meeting up with some of his colleagues towson was criticised for not returning to turkey after his studies. That was really shocking it came right out of the blue this comment. Things really escalated from there in we got up and left we thought we dont have to put up with this. Husband who then worked as a commercial director had to repeatedly fight prejudice in his job. Once i had the task of working on a nato project. To german engineers whod been allocated to the project apparently refused the excitement. They allegedly didnt want to work with the turkish guy. Speaks fluent german likes german wheat beer and his pork roast on sunday but still many people only see him as a turk. His son john witnessed how his. Father struggled before deciding to go and live in turkey in one thousand nine hundred seventy. Two day towson says that his integration failed a radical assessment that many german turks share. The dangerous thing is that the gap is widening between Majority Society and german turks who dont feel integrated. And i dont think this polarization is good for either side especially germany. Of course turkish germans have a lot to offer and it would be preferrable of People Living in germany who possess both german and turkish passports said my president a steinmeyer not everyone president. Tolson matter has changed his mind in recent years he now questions the policies of the turkish president. He travels back to germany regularly and the family still has a house in bavaria. As always the first thing ill do is order a potion of wienerschnitzel. Drink a wheat beer to travel around the high rise but im a guest there. I live in turkey and i got started. Born in. The influence of germanys powerhouse extends well beyond europe even to china where an exhibition series exploring the Global Impact of the Design Movement is kicking around. Our house elements shifting in reconfiguring theater performance mark the opening of the exhibition powerhouse imagine easter. Organized by the guta institute at the China Design Museum in hong joeys china. Includes yet make the via. Were less interested in whats truly bauhaus and more in the ways it was interpreted how it was built on. And how it sparked the imagination hence the title powerhouse imagine easter with emerging societies regarding the function of art and also in regard to social issues. In china and powerhouses admired for its pragmatism modernism and honesty. These chairs featuring the exhibition in hong. Students visitors organizers and experts are all spellbound. In china doll houses on the curriculum in almost every design school. That. Falls in the sea of the in china house is more or less synonymous with modern design. In the past we were completely unfamiliar with it but these days the chinese see modern design and bauhaus as the same thing some people dont even realize that there are other Design Movements in schools is astonishingly well known in china so you call. The exhibition includes a range of objects and prototypes for designs destined for everyday use our house laid the foundation of modern Industrial Design in china. Also on display our plans for architectural and urban planning projects. House will influence my work from now on not just my industrial Product Designs but interior designs and architecture too im influenced by its basic principles of style and merging of technique and art as well as its vision of what Product Design is and our relationship to it in every way really. The China Design Museum in hungary oh even the building seems to be partly inspired by about house but its economical clean lines its quite a contrast to its surroundings. Chinese architecture tends to be ornamental. But in fact it might well have been an influence on the bow house style. Of the father for that bar house is very different to chinese architecture which is often highly complex decorated with dragons and phoenixes harking back to the main inching denah stays. But one of the most seminal chinese aesthetic styles a much during the era of the song dynasty a very simple architectural style with lots of wood bamboo and stone. The was what i thought you had the city. In other words similar to bauhaus so perhaps chinese statics did influence the German Movement of the one nine hundred twenty s. Only for it to be later exported back to china for example in the form of the City CommissionMilitary Factory in central beijing. Now the citys art district it was originally built in one nine hundred fifty four by east german and russian architects who took elements of power house to create something new. And to stand up this is the legacy of industrial architecture was something the bauhaus architects often referred to. So they could see how it pointed towards a new type of architecture one that was based on industry and the potential of construction is building. Our house was a global complex movement that evolved according to time and place its principles spread around the world or reconfigured and often ended up back where they started and in altered form. Its proponents would no doubt enjoy seeing an Industrial Complex repurposed as an arts hub. Here are more cultural highlights picked up on our radar.

Talent is a Global Network for young generation of filmmakers what are their concerns and twenty eighteen this time we needed to rector from the United States the. Questions of identity are certainly something that runs through my work consistently. Hi im captain fairfax right and im a director from the United States. Was a lot of that stuff. Was. Bad. Was. One of the nice things about stepping into the world of talk recall which was the main subject of my phone behind the curtain was that he you know he brings such exuberance to his performance and he brings such levity to an issue that can be really traumatizing i mean he he grew up in. An area of the country in rural texas in a very Christian Community that was not at all accepting of people but he decided to not let that distract him from his goals and he just kind of persevered as the incredible artists that he is. I like to break down barriers between the people that i. Exist coexist with and when youre making a documentary the people that youre coexisting with are your subjects and so i do develop a certain sense of intimacy that i think maybe some other documentary filmmakers dont do. Comic which you tells the story of david kato who is the first openly gay man in uganda. And we filmed with him for a year till he was murdered and so the story ends up telling the last year in his life im not. Young enough. That i want to. Look up in a minute but the minute. I used to be really shy like i used to not dance ever i was always very like awkward and i just wanted to be a wallflower and but inside like i love to dance and i love music and i love being creative and i love being fluid with my dance and with my dress and and dance and all this kind of stuff and it just took time to to be comfortable with that. The person i am now is infinitely more interesting than the person i would have become had i not bothered to consciously rid myself of these societal mufflers that we dont need to have and i think thats kind of why questions of identity are so telling for me. I kind of want to just shake my audiences into being just a little bit more open to yes big things like l g b t rights and stuff but also Little Things like wearing the clothes that you want to wear and.
