LGBT Homotopia'nın traditional festival held each year, due to the European Capital of Culture in Istanbul Turkey under the 2010 feet from the well-known British artist Paul Harfleet'le violets planted along the garden of the consulate.
Many unknowns have started thinking that there is an equation of this last sentence, I would like sabretmenizi a minute.
First of all, Let me begin by describing what it is Homotopia'nın: Himself "is an art and social justice organization based in Liverpool as" the defining Homotopia, organized by various art organizations throughout the year in many parts of the world's societies, including the UK raising awareness about human rights, pluralism and equality for everyone and improve the understanding of working for.
NEED THE FULL THING
In addition, in November of each year the International LGBT (Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Trans), art festivals, especially in the film to raise awareness on issues of sexual orientation and gender performances, dance performances is preparing a very large programs.
Says Artistic Director Gary Everett Homotopia'nın for Turkey has many beautiful plan. More than 2010, will be willing to cooperate with more extensive dialogues with local artists and non-governmental organizations to set up and used to prepare the ground for this work was a pilot year. Gary, more exciting for 2011;! F and supporters such as the presence of the URA Gallery, me too excited.
Violet fideleriyle we give our oars, "Let's go!" Said Paul, is curator of the Violet Project (The Pansy Project) is also one of the activities within the scope of Homotopia.
VIOLET PROJECT?
So what is this Violet Project? It does not matter male or female, suffered verbal or physical attacks on homosexuals in the community in a project which aims to draw attention to this. Five years ago, art education at the time of psycho-geography of places that interact with people wondering how emotions and thoughts surrounding the status of this work, Paul began to move their assault experiences. A source of inspiration in the UK after road traffic accidents or similar loss of life of people came to them entirely his own way, to leave flowers at the scene of an accident roadside monuments have been created by burning candles.
Each attack is a response to the attacks against him only after a period of violet Paul thorn her autograph but also brought it into a mass movement. Only in the middle of the street for being gay bashing, but only eat in remembrance of his friends were killed, the bodies were found planted violets points.
Normally this job, "guerrilla gardening" in a way that the so-called hallettiğini explains Paul. I saw him playing around with flowers from the members of the public and the police realized that the purpose of başlıyormuş can not support. One photo showed, for example, a police officer put up with violets. But of course things are always so easy yürümeyebiliyor. For example, in Liverpool in 2007 under the St. Homotopia again. Jones Park decided to plant one end of the other side of the violet. Gary, a full five months to get permission uğraştıklarını says.
THEY ARE NOT FLOWER SCAR
Meanwhile in England the violet wave U.S., Germany and even spread to Ireland. Paul later formed an exhibition in each of them pulled a picture of a violet. Photos remotely looked very nice, giving people the impression of a botanical garden geziyormuş.
However, the beautiful flowers that close when you start thinking that there is actually a scar. Because each photo has a name and the names used in the attacks is outrageous statements: "Wheel", "Hey, bright boy!" Or "I think it's time a few gay tattoo!" Like. (These are my sansürümden geçebilenler, I met many people uncomfortable looking at pictures in words.)
VIOLET OR TURKEY?
Paul'le talking to him, asking whether there is information about crimes in Turkey, homophobia and transphobia, "They suffered a lot not covered by hate crime" is dominated by the issue shows cevabıyla. But outside the Consulate's garden flower ekecek Paul in Turkey?
At that point here, which is one of the closest colleagues, there is Mehmet Sander and performance artist: "Well every corner of our country is less than one per diksek violet as a symbolic one, but for now she'll" she says.
BOTH UNIFORM AND Thoughtful
"Why not violet daisy or a rose?" If you ask Paul something come in his description: In English the word for violet, the "pansy" which means to think in French "penser" comes from the verb. Violets their heads bowed in front of them looked like people who think such a thought in the name of this flower yakıştırılıyor. In the following, as well as a thoughtful homosexual men spread belief, the word for homosexuals to be used as a phrase starting uncomplimentary. So Paul also chose for the project violets.
He said so. But my mind always spike during the event and the first violets and us, "Welcome," said British Consul General, Mr. Jessica Hand'in words during the speech there: "At first glance, all of a violet, violet, but in fact, unique, unique and different. I think this is a perfect representation of us and we live in societies. We are all in the same seems different. "
Despite differences, such as eyes, violets are equal, we all are different, but that does not mean that we are not equal.
Paul just loves violet violets planted as soon as the days ... hope to access the
