What We Choose to Remember is a powerful exhibition that dives into how national identities are shaped through memory, myth, and personal experience. Four artists confront historic conflicts and cultural legacies, asking: what do we remember—and what gets left behind?

Spanning oceans, monarchs, and marches, this exhibition invites you to rethink how history is told—and who gets to tell it.

Highlights include: 

Köken Ergun

Köken Ergun’s landmark film on Gallipoli/Çanakkale, tracing modern pilgrimages and clashing national narratives.
