Halil Altındere & Azra Tüzünoğlu at COMMENTARIVM

Halil Altındere & Azra Tüzünoğlu at COMMENTARIVM

On May 31, Halil Altındere and his long-time comrade in print and insurgent ideas Azra Tüzünoğlu will be landing at COMMENTARIVM with a suitcase full of printed provocations and a mind wired for subversion. 🏴

From their Art-ist take over to User’s Manual series, from If I Can’t Dance, It’s Not My Revolution to Dersimiz Güncel Sanat, from Siyahi to Motherland—a publishing journey maps the very terrain of Turkey’s contemporary art over the past few decades. Together, they’ll walk us through their publications from the early 90s to today—including collaborations with Süreyyya Evren and beyond. Expect a candid conversation on radical gestures in print, self-publishing, and the role of books in art and resistance.The event starts at 15:00. Limited space—please make a reservation via DM. 🖤
