We Are Not Familiar With a Generation That Has No Understanding of Sadness

We Are Not Familiar With a Generation That Has No Understanding of Sadness constructs a narrative around the artists’ fundamental research on the mimeograph. By using significant political texts and transcripts from history as a reference point, against this historical background, they reflect upon the contemporary situation in Türkiye. In affinity with previous generations, who are saddened by the perished dreams and ideals, they search for agency under despotism—attempting to negotiate their elusive position between two extremes of utopian escapism and revolutionary struggle as recourse to estrangement.
