GMU:Istanbul/Guess who: Difference between revisions

~~== Guess who ==~~

Istanbul is a city,that changes in every moment in every corner. Every part of the city is different to the other and so are the people living in.

~~In my project~~ I ~~would like~~ to ~~portray and interview '''~~young women~~'''~~

I wanted to get to know the city not as a tourist or exchange student ,i wanted to get it to know from the view of the young women living in istanbul.

~~who~~ are ~~in various stages~~ and ~~periods of "Inbetween".~~

What do they think about their future, about Turkey- are they proud of their country and culture?

~~Young Artists and students, in countries and environments that are in many ways in~~

~~Transition.~~

~~Being between places, between people, between Developmental steps and stages of life, '''between dreams'''.~~

~~Istanbul is always inbetween and it must be really interesting to get shown these differences by Istanbul residents~~

~~So, my plan is to pass a camera to the persons I will portray and aks them to take pictures at one day for me. It would be like an own diary shown the personal surrounding.~~

~~I would like to '''explore'''~~ '''~~differences~~''' ~~or perhaps '''no differences''' to Germany and my own life, to meet new people and~~ to ~~find out, what way they´ve chosen.~~

----

'''First step'''

Who am i going to interview?

~~I can speak english~~ and ~~some french~~, ~~but no turkish. I´m looking foward~~ to ~~meet some''' helpful people'''~~, ~~who may~~ help to ~~translate or who know~~ some ~~young~~ women~~, to whom they introduce me~~.

The most important and difficult part of this project was, to find young women, they are willing to help me. I just had 10 days in Istanbul, that was a short time to find someone and organise a meeting.

So i used couchsurfing to get in touch with some women. Luckily all of them I asked were really helpful and interested in my project.

'''Second step'''

How do I get there?

I learned a lot about Istanbul on the way back and to the women I visited. They live in all different parts of the city, which are normally not the typical touristic parts. It took me most of the times more than 1.5 hours to get there and it was really exhausting.

'''Third step'''

What do we talk about?

To meet people, you´ve never seen before is easy. But to ask people you´ve never seen before private question is hard. I had my questions prepared, but really soon I found out, that just to talk feels more comfortable.So I always tried to talk about the same topics, but it was always surprising how the talks changed. Every talk was interesting and I learned so much about the persons and Istanbul and the women in Turkey.

Here is a small selection of thoughts the women and I shared.

----

'''Fourth step'''

How do I present it?

I thought a lot about the presentation. I have a lot of audio and photography material and wanted to show both. In the end i made four small books, which were attached to audio files. Unfortunately not so many visitors took their time to listen.
