What do human rights mean today, in a world where they continue to be undermined and violated? In right?, Banu Cennetoğlu presents the articles of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights in bouquets of gold letter balloons in Kanal’s showroom. As the balloons slowly deflate, the work questions the language of rights and the human rights framework the Declaration helped set up. It reflects on what these rights mean, their history and lofty rhetoric, but also on how their inherent promises fade before our eyes.

In her practice, Banu Cennetoğlu uses archiving and other methods to question the politics of memory and the ways in which knowledge is produced, distributed and consumed. She lives and works in Istanbul, where she also founded BAS, an artist initiative focusing on artists’ books and printed matter.
The talk will be moderated by Devrim Bayar, a senior curator at Kanal and the curator of the exhibition.
