Terkol realized her third placard titled “Dreams on a River” during her residency 

in China with women artists. This time, Terkol defines zones of freedom for, and 

multiplies the voices of, women who are involved in a struggle for visibility in a 

male-dominant contemporary art environment. Identical female figures carry 

balloons of their dreams that spring out of their hearts, where they reflect their 

own subjectivity on ships sailing on a river in front of an undefined city 

panorama. The river that runs through the city of Chongqing flows with dreams 

the women have imagined only through visuals.

“Nehir Üstünde Hayaller” isimli üçüncü pankart çalışmasını Çin’de kaldığı 

dönemde, Çinli kadın sanatçılar ile gerçekleştiren Terkol, bu sefer erkek egemen 

bir güncel sanat ortamında görünürlük savaşı veren kadınlara kendi alanında 

özgürlük alanları tanımlıyor, seslerini çoğaltıyor. Birbiri ile özdeş kadın figürleri, 

tanımsız bir şehir panoramasının önündeki nehirde yüzen gemilerin üzerinde, 

kendi öznelliklerini yansıttıkları, kalplerinden çıkan hayal balonlarını taşıyor. 

Chongqing kentini bölen nehir, kadınların sadece görsellerle kurguladığı 

hayalleriyle akıyor.

Lining Revealed – A Journey Through Folk Wisdom and Contemporary Vision _ Date: 15.03.2025-13.07.2025 _Venue: CHAT Hong Kong

  Lining Revealed – A Journey Through Folk Wisdom and Contemporary Vision From beadwork to embroidery, straw weaving to paper craft, patchwork quilts of nomadic tribes to silkscreen prints of agrarian island communities, handicraft techniques and everyday objects inherited through time immemorial have often been sources of inspiration and materials for contemporary artists. Both folk craft and contemporary art originate from humanity’s innate desires for creation, expression, exchange and identity, and are vessels for conveying emotion and reason. Lining Revealed examines the interactions between folk craft and contemporary art by juxtaposing artworks, handicrafts and archival documents. Through the critical lens and creative manifestations of contemporary art, it reveals the historical, social and cultural significance embodied in folk craft and the role craft plays in reinvigorating contemporary vision. The exhibition also speaks to the importance of contemporary art in the conti...
