Cihan Sesen made this political comic to raise awareness about the 2013 Gezi Park uprising in Turkey.
From the artist’s website: The whole thing is a mess. It started as a small, environmentalist protest of government’s plans to demolish a park to build a mall. Have you seen that movie? Right? Yet, the police ended up burning the tents of the protesters while they’re sleeping, and it kept escalating from then on. Now, the entire country is in uprising. Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, all the major city streets are filled with people, protecting their land, and resisting the fascist goverment of Recep Tayyip Erdogan… I wish I was back home, protecting Gezi. Yet, for now, all I can do is what I do best. Make art, and post about it.
