MULTI-CULTI ENCOUNTERS // urban // goldfish
exhibited in "Good Design İzmir_6: Müşterek Gelecekler", December 2021. 

Multiculti Encounters criticizes the human-centered hierarchies in the co-existence of humans and non-humans in different contexts. Both in the relation of stray animals and humanbeings in the urban atmosphere and in the absurd human habits on a domestic animal, we see how these encounters are established by the superiority of a single species. In order to defeat the consequences of enviromental crisis we have been through, reconsidering those relationships and human-centered perspectives is a must. The humanbeing who designs the goldfish's lifetime environment according to his own taste also shouts out his existence in various ways in public space. So, isn't it possible to create more empathetic encounters with other-than-humans?
