AKIS
AUDIO VISUAL EXHIBITION

AKIS @Apartmen Project Berlin. Join us for the opening! Akis is a narrative audiovisual installation, that explores the multi-layered emotional accumulation of migrants from Turkey. Always caught in the mental space between the two geographies, generations have shaped multiple memories and narratives. These have unfolded their feelings, reflections, and puzzles between the two identifications. This exhibition will try to put together, jointly conceived, and produce feelings of belonging to the contemporary diaspora in the city of Berlin, with diverse backgrounds in music and new media.

Chromatic Wednesdays
Artist Talk Moderated by Erden Kosova

Before moving to Germany in 2017 Özlem Sarıyıldız produced several films that focused on memory, gender, commons, and justice movements and relied on an aesthetics that was fed by genres such as documentary, interview, and oral history. Her recent practice in Berlin traces the lives experiences of people who migrated from Turkey to Germany with different motivations in different historical contexts. The video ‘Welcomed in Germany?’(2018) was based on the intersectional dynamics that have shaped the lives of the people who moved to Berlin within the last decade, along with the so-called ‘new wave’. Her ongoing research on earlier generations, particularly women who migrated as determined individuals and workers, has evolved along with some video pieces shown in the contemporary art context. In our conversation, we will hear from Özlem Sarıyıldız about these recent practices, the way in which they inform about her own living experience and changing subjectivity in the city of Berlin.
