For Eyes That Listen
The publication accompanying the group exhibition For Eyes That Listen opens with an essay by Melih Fereli, Arter’s Founding Director and the curator of the exhibition, which takes its reference from John Cage’s experimental approach that combines the use of silence with aleatory music alongside indeterminacy in his art. The book also includes a text by composer Gordon Mumma, the recipient of the 2019 SEAMUS Award for his contributions to electro-acoustic music, along with an essay on the concept of “found sound” by Hasan Cem Çal and Furkan Keçeli, and a selection of short stories from John Cage’s books titled Silence (1961) and A Year From Monday (1963).

Young Minds Rethinking the Mediterranean
Throughout history, much has been written on why wars and crises occur and why human beings kill each other or are often so ready to do so. While some blame human nature, state structures or the anarchic order within the international system, others hold prejudices and the "othering" or dehumanizing of those different from us as being responsible. The region in which we live has particularly suffered a great deal from these violent processes. Nationalist ideologies, most of which were defined in opposition to one another, alienated "others," abstracted them from their humanity, and made them subject to various kinds of tyranny. Turks, Bulgarians, Greeks and many others had their share in thi...
