This project explores the situation and reality of queer people in Istanbul under the current state of opression and repression. It tries to understand the reality of queerness in Turkish culture and explores the community structure in these spaces. Furthermore, it aims to understand and showcase how the queer identity of Turkish people is created, seeks for roots and origigns, and tries to decipher to what extent it differs from Western queer communities. Ongoing work.
