Stories Whose Sun is Hidden

The “Stories Whose Sun is Hidden” project focuses on memory and forced migration. It listens to the lamentations to the hidden sun of lost stories and as their voice, it draws attention to personal and collective narratives of women. This research project aims to rethink and question the power-holding humans’ domination over the nature by cascading and overlapping the memory of the inhabitants of the villages flooded by the Alparslan I and II dams built on the Murat River, the memory of the location and the memory and narrative of women, as well as by increasing the number of layers.
