This event can only be accessed with a Museumnacht ticket.Museumnacht at W139 features a moderated talk and screenings where EMIRHAKIN invites artist Elif Satanaya Özbay to explore the evolution of Turkish horror cinema. Deeply engaged with the horror genre both in her artistic practice and as a personal obsession, Özbay joins EMIRHAKIN in a discussion that connects to the broader themes of the exhibition Remarkable Meetings with Disgusting Men and beyond.Focusing on the transformation of the Turkish horror genre over the past two decades—from attempts to emulate Hollywood to a distinct emphasis on Quranic symbolism—the conversation will examine how these changes reflect the political and societal shifts within Turkey. The artists will trace these transformations through their personal memories, connecting them to the collective memory of Turkey and its diasporas. By screening excerpts from iconic Turkish horror films, the talk aims to performatively investigate how this genre has been repurposed to serve contemporary Turkish political narratives over the past twenty years.
