Cynical "Magical Turkey"Posters

Images from the Gezi park resistance will be used to create wry posters that will make people think twice and work as a publicity for Gezi initiative at Mediamatic.
We see many billboards with lovely advertisements for holidays in “Magical Istanbul”. By using some of the striking images we can create similar advertisements but with a twist. It shouldn’t be anything violent or explicit but something like: An elegant couple standing in front of a lovely Bosphorus view, sipping their Tear-gas can cocktails. Or with the title: Land of Rumi: Come whoever you are…and the image of the whirling dervish with the gas mask. With these images we can put a small note asking: What is happening in Turkey? and a link that will take the people to the Park page of Mediamatic therefore acting as advertisements for us. These smart posters will attract attention of the public and will appeal to the humor of the Dutch people who like a sarcastic-light approach.
