Whistling Memory at Yapı Kredi Museum reframes memory as a living narrative that reshapes with every call, bringing together works by Akram Zaatari, Hilal Can, and Michael Rakowitz alongside elements from the museum’s collection.
Whistling Memory at Yapı Kredi Museum features works by Akram Zaatari, Hilal Can, and Michael Rakowitz in dialogue with selected objects from the museum’s collection. The exhibition challenges the notion of memory as a fixed record of the past, instead presenting it as a living, dynamic field that can be reanimated through body, breath, and sound. Curated by Burcu Çimen, the show weaves together narratives from theatre and performance history, Ottoman archaeological finds, and Mesopotamian heritage, offering new ways to think about how history is told and remembered.
