This is a segment from a video that was made with Artist Wong Hoy Cheong for the 10th Istanbul Biennial Art Exhibition. 'Aman Sulukule, Canim Sulukule', which means 'Oh Sulukule, Darling Sulukule', a term used by the Roma people of Sulukule, Istanbul; to describe their love for their land. This video art documentary was filmed by the children of Sulukule in Istanbul over 5 weeks in August & September through workshops and the full length is 14 mins long. I was animator, editor and facilitator for this project. Unlimited thanx to Wong Hoy Cheong, Damla Tamer (the other facilitator), Ceren Erdem (assistant curator), Ho Hanru (head curator) & all the residents of Sulukule for this unique opportunity.

Hi! I love the video and the photos from the kids in Sulukule, especially since I know some of the children (Coskun actually taught me to count in Turkish!). Me and my colleagues did some work on for a university project there.
I would like to see the full video that was made with the children, is it possible to find it somewhere? Would appreciate any help!
Thanks and once again nice work on the video and photos!
