The Institute for Media and Creative Industries has received support from the European Endowment for Democracy for a project which aims to capture and communicate women’s daily experiences, concerns, and struggles in contemporary Turkey.
The “Women’s Memory and Media in Turkey” project will include women living in Turkey and abroad, feminist researchers and activists, policy makers in/outside of Turkey, women’s collectives and organisations, and democratic and interested public.About the project, Dr. Burce Celik said:
“While there are important women’s organisations, alternative media outlets and a social memory centre, there is no platform that researches, archives and publishes stories and experiences of women of Turkey under the current authoritarian regime. It is for this reason that our project will be crucial in the development of women’s collective memory, women’s resistance, feminist strategies of resilience and women’s rights advocacy in Turkey.”
