Storytelling als dekoloniale Strategie
Ezgi Erol
Institute of Studies in Art and Art Education, Transcultural Studies
2024W, scientific seminar (SEW), 4.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S05366
Description
What stories move Istanbul? What and who is present in today's İstanbul, and what remains invisible? In the course, we will jointly examine queer-feminist, migrant, and decolonial stories and strategies of Istanbul and their relationships to the art and culture scene. Whose stories are included and whose are excluded? What is the relationship between local stories and art production and practice?
Storytelling is a powerful method for reflecting on past experiences through oral transmission. It allows us to collect, preserve, and interpret the individual voices of past events and memories. Storytelling connects the past with the present, and what has not happened to what has been forgotten. It also raises the question who has the right to tell whose story and which stories are visible or remain hidden. This method enables us to gather individual voices connected to past events and reconstruct them in the present. In this course, we will explore storytelling as a key component of the qualitative research method and jointly develop artistic, scientific, and interdisciplinary research through writing and other exercises to understand the multi-layered stories of İstanbul.
This course is a hands-on exploration of storytelling's potential as an artistic tool and a means of knowledge production. We will have an excursion to Istanbul from December 4-8, 2024, where we will meet practitioners in the field. Through visual and performative practices, collaborative projects, practical exercises, and theoretical discussions, the course invites students to gain an understanding of different artistic and scientific methods and visual cultures to create stories and develop ideas or deepen existing projects.
