park how much remains today that spirit of civil resistance. that anyone who was there will never forget it 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 people's eyes at first it was the protest of the few against the partial destruction of istanbul's 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 i was there too. she's written down her memories of this phase of solidarity and its brutal end. because 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 she'd like to she says the situation for writers in turkey has worsened but guy loves her country and she wants to keep writing in turkish we've 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 under one's regime we need to have the government claims to be conservative islamic and nationalist. you know but they want to wipe out everything belonging to our past and recent history

they are keeping the spirit of alive he's transformed the events back then into a giant mural a memorial to resistance and to the victims of police while and he's not selling his pictures and the chamber of architects supports him he's determined to remain independent. some artists bow to the government's cause. fears are increasing that more and more artists will and gauge insult censorship. personally i can't say that's the case for me. but that's probably due to my character. 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 at a one as having a narcissistic personality disorder and was then blacklisted he now lives in berlin he's pessimistic about turkey's future if thinks the west underestimates the one and his compatriots have been blinded when their eyes are painted they cannot see the facts thinking and see the reality they are not committing them to see as i hear this but now we are living in the twenty first century or poor rise and look around most of your client 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 artists. musician and filmmaker bill garner as it 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 riding-hood they join forces to defeat the big bad wolf jap type of the one. it's 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 a crowd market is reminiscent of istanbul he's annoyed back i'm patrick stewart lived in germany for so long. will have set their hearts on at a one. time fee to get a friend i have a lot of good friends here at this market to. the but they have a worldview which doesn't allow them to ask any further questions. ok. is it right what everyone's doing they don't ask. but that being confronted with it more and more the number of exile turkish intellectuals coming to berlin is on the rise . and these are these are going to this is the professional class who are bringing their families with. their children go to school here it's less complicated than you think the effect it will have. there might be discussions. one after the other it's the domino effect. it could take a long time. because long long upward says john nash but she is a dancer she didn't 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 she's process this trauma in a solo piece. it's . just. it's like. life is taking away from you know somehow all the opportunities of working sharing are taking away from you and then you realize that you cannot take in your life as a dancer isn't easy in berlin either yet she's 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 it's very safe and beautiful and there's hope for. the spirit 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 should not happen again. turkish born toso married hoped to find a new home in germany but sixty years later he's come to a devastating conclusion about immigration and integration. in the courts of character. 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 i'd 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. through and. back then toss in mary couldn't anticipate the problems he would encounter in germany. his son journalist john mary 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 with heidi when my father said what i think a lot of german turks think. everyone has given me back my pride that's why i support him but i thought i've 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 all find a lot more. to like got a lot of invitations. he said friends who generously invited me to dinner offering me beer and wine were very surprised when i accepted it gladly. and i shall want to see him going to. university he fell in love with maria a fellow student. the two got married in one nine hundred sixty 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 assume. my father was. my father and he distanced himself when we went out to visit 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. an increasing hostility toward turkish people crept into german society to marry 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 and we got up and left we thought we don't 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 not. two german engineers who'd been allocated to the project apparently refused the excitement. they allegedly didn't 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 he. 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. defeated on is that the dangerous thing is that the gap is widening between majority society and german turks who don't feel integrated. i don't 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 the varia. as always the first thing i'll do is order a portion of wienerschnitzel. drink a wheat beer to travel around. but i'm a guest there. i live in turkey and i got started. born in. the influence of germany's powerhouse extends well beyond europe even to china where an exhibition series exploring the global impact of the design movement is kicking on. our house elements shifting in reconfiguring the 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. we're less interested in what's 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 image an 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 feature in the exhibition in hong. students visitors organizers and experts are all spellbound. in china our house is on the curriculum in almost every design school. that. falls in the sea of the. 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 don't 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 dollhouse laid the foundation of modern industrial design in china. also on display are 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 i'm 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 hong joe even the building seems to be partly inspired by a bow house with its economical clean lines it's 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 fathers for the bar house is very different to chinese architecture which is often highly complex decorated with dragons and phoenixes harking back to the making inching denah studies. but one of the most seminal chinese aesthetic styles emerged during the era of the song dynasty a very simple architectural style with lots of wood bamboo and stone the was. the city. in other words similar to bauhaus so perhaps chinese aesthetics 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 this decommission military factory in central beijing. now the city's art district it was originally built in one nine hundred fifty four by east german and russian architects who took elements of powerhouse to create something new. and distant that this is the legacy of industrial architecture was something the bauhaus architects often referred to as he took. the it's 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 principle spread around the world were 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. online trying to force seven we're digitally fixated obsessed with our smartphones mobile communication is part of everyday lives and her new book on wired dutch artist jackson has ink

wanderlust the great outdoors nature is a welcome refuge for stressed out urbanites its appeal is nothing new as illustrated by a new exhibition at the other nuts who not a gallery in berlin. depicted the force of nature. pogo gump or trade himself as a roaming figure. and gustav could be a plus also a keen traveller. one hundred twenty paintings by nature lovers and explorers from one thousand

generation of filmmakers what are their concerns in twenty teams at this time we needed to rector from the united states. questions of identity are certainly something that runs through my work consistently. hi i'm captain fairfax right and i'm a director from the united states. a little less. than 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 the people but he decided to not let that distract him from his goals and he just kind of persevered as the incredible artist that he is. i like to break down barriers between the people that i exist coexist with and when you're making a documentary the people that you're co-existing with are your subjects and so i do develop a certain sense of intimacy that i think maybe some other documentary filmmakers don't do. i'm going to be able to get better from. mine should be honest and try to. call me kuchu

going on. one. little thing minute like a 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 read myself of these societal mufflers that we don't need to have and i think that's kind of why questions of identity are so telling for me. i kind of want to just shake my audience's 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. doing the dance moves that you want to do. and that's all from marks twenty one for now next week will be in venice for the
