S\u0131d\u0131ka, an illiterate Arabic woman who spent almost all of her life in a village of Samanda\u011f (south of Turkey), was the driving force behind all of her children, grandchildren and relatives to seek for better education and life conditions which made her Sitt Al-Koull (grandma of all). In order to pay homage to her, the artist decides to make an artistic intervention on her abandoned country house and turns it into lieu de m\u00e9moire.","space":"Due to questioning the possibility of transforming an abandoned house into a site of memory, it could be better if the work can be screened in a place that has its own memory \/ history, yet it is not essential. The work may be screened at any dimensions. The link that I share includes a low-quality version of work. I will supply the high quality if needed.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":"sittalkoull2020","video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/398975950","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Erdem","surname":"Colak","email":"erdemcolak42@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"30601699228","address":"Bos en Lommerplantsoen 75P","city":"Amsterdam","nacionality":"Turkish","country_id":"169","birthdate":"1989-06-04T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1989-06-04T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+31643013317","web":"http:\/\/www.erdemcolak.net\/"}
