"The crimes committed by our ancestors are not considered relevant to the British official narrative, and non-white history has long been suppressed. Our collective refusal to deny the violence of the past brings discrimination, 'victim-blaming' and an exhausting and protracted struggle over how our shared history is told."
"İhsan Raif was a pioneer poet who used a novel style in her poetry. She is also the author of the lyrics of some quite well-known songs in Turkey. She composed music and sang classical Turkish tunes while masterfully playing the piano. Unfortunately, most people who still sing these songs today do not know that the lyrics belong to her."
"What we see in this exhibition are works created by Zehra Doğan with persistence and resilience during her prison sentence, using any surfaces, objects and materials she could find (including brushes made out of her own hair and menstruation blood used as paint; an expression of body politics in its fullest sense) and other manifestations of the alternative realm she created while in prison."

She remained guarded and aloof from the society that increasingly discriminated against non-Muslims. Her messages that metaphorically remained in a bottle in Istanbul finally reached the shores to be disclosed at the archives at Columbia University."

Orhan Pamuk does narrate the “local” as Kirsch tells us, sure, but he does this by turning the image into an allegory. He diagrams the fluid reality of a society by reducing it to sharp dualities
