The art of protest

In the summer of 2013, the world witnessed one of the biggest civil uprisings in the history of the Republic of Turkey. The uprising quickly grew nationwide. After heavy clashes between protestors and the police, Taksim Square was claimed by the public, and the 15 days of park occupation and communal life began. The Park embraced people from all walks of life; masses with opposite ideologies, lifestyles, and beliefs lived peacefully inside this temporarily occupied zone. Even after the brutal crackdown, things have changed irreversibly in people's minds.
