   Summart,  “Mental Imagery of Things not Actually Present”, İstanbul

   Curators: Nergis Abiyeva & Uras Kızıl

   . 

   Let them cry unless patriarchy is over. 

    Stop romanticizing our existence over motherhood, over purity, and stop glorifying domestic slavery.

   .

    Do not promote one type of woman: good mom, good cook, well-behaving, hard-working (but nothing exactly she gets in return). 

   .

   Women who don't want to be a mother, who hate having kids, who hate all the housework, who hate makeup, who are rebellious, who are lazy, and who never wanted to look feminine exist. 

   .

   We don't have to be naive, we don't have to be passive to satisfy your fragile man egos.

   .

   Not all of us are looking forward to getting married and having an oedipal family and doing all the bullshit work and getting bored.

   .

   Leaving a mother with all the child care alone then celebrating her women's day with a flower?

   .

    Do not make any comments on femicide, never really share our pain then celebrate this day with a lovely text message. 

   .

   No, thanks I'm not buying it, so maybe it's better to collect tears in the vases rather than cry?
