Global Protests Through Art - collaboration, co-creation, interconnectedness

What does a PhD thesis written by an artist look like? How
is it presented and read? How do artists contribute to academic
literature by conducting scientific research, yet not without giving
up their artistic input? This book is about bringing the worlds of
artistic and academic endeavours together.
Işıl Eğrikavuk’s book, which is a reworked rendition of her
2021 PhD thesis, was sparked by the Gezi Protests that started
in Istanbul in 2013 and spread in many different cities. It points
to certain intersections between the protests and her ongoing
research of community arts through an artistic research project.
The book offers the reader to look into the intersections between
the Gezi protests and community arts (socially engaged, dialoguebased
art practices) as well as a hands-on collaborative arts
project, which Eğrikavuk realized by working with six different
arts and ecology collectives from Turkey.
