Turkish identities and media? There are many identities and many ways of expression, performance, reproduction and contestation. I think that a really interesting way of voicing is art, pure expression of life. Although my favourite art expression is cooking and linking food to ideas, I am also fascinated by music as social phenomenon, as affirmation of an identity and a culture.
Fatih Akin is a german film director of turkish origin. He directed a lot of films about Turks in Germany and in 2005 he filmed a documentary about the sound of Istanbul called "Crossing the bridge". It is really interesting to see how so many different identities are expressed by music and how intense is the final result. Check it out!
