This interview is under the second theme of the “The Other Stories” podcast series, where we focus on good practices and lessons learned relating to art and the integration of immigrants in Turkey with NGO professionals, artists, and scholars. Today our guest is the artist and social anthropologist Eva Rapoport. Today, we will be talking about her work as a coordinator of the Istanbul branch of the Ark (Kovcheg) – an organization that is helping Russian political emigrants. We will discuss her research on political emigrants in Istanbul and her digital art project titled ‘Imagine/unimaginable’ employing an AI to visualize the reflections of the shock and trauma of witnessing a familiar world suddenly falling apart.
