Occupy Turkey

Occupy Gezi is a movement that started in 2013 in order to preserve one of the very few green areas left in central Istanbul. It then turned into a group of massive, nation-wide anti-government protests. The protests, begun by the occupy movement in Istanbul, spread to other cities such as the capital Ankara, and Turkey’s third largest city, Izmir, and they ignited a flurry of creative production that resulted in a variety of posters, banners and street art. The visual material created in the ethos of the protests are striking images that capture the nature of the protests.
