How Do You Know Tarlabasi?

Melis Göker, 2013 | MODE Istanbul (Turkey)

‘How Do You Know Tarlabasi?’ by Melis Göker (1983), Turkey, is a remix work that points to the fact that there is a background story to the forced evacuation that is happening in Tarlabaşı today. The (hi)story of migration in Tarlabaşı goes back to the forced migration of non-Muslim minorities from Tarlabaşı in 1950’s and reveals the economic backdrop to the cause of these migrations.
