Maktaba Room with Tuğba Durukan

Reading space by Cate Lartey & Donja Nasseri

Info: Tuğba Durukan introduces the discourse around the (un)translatability of writing systems and reflects on the role this plays in her artistic practice. (…) The term Maktaba originates from the North and East African region and means library or book collection. In a broader sense, it also refers to a place where knowledge is gathered, preserved, or made accessible. The Maktaba Room is a kind of pop-up library dedicated to breaking down structural barriers–especially those that limit access to artistic platforms for marginalized groups.
