Can we form an alliance of artists claiming exposure of self-censoring in a non-defeatist manner? Can this process help us articulate the political matters which would otherwise stay unspoken? During the fellowship Y\u00fccel will work with five film and video makers and investigate the empowering possibilities of exposing auto-censorship. The outcome is envisioned as a video anthology which might evolve into an exhibition.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:true,&quot;134245418&quot;:false,&quot;134245529&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276,&quot;335559991&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Y\u00fccel\u2019s latest video, <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">March 8, 2020: A Memoir<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> (2023) was showcased in Go Short, Nijmegen; \u0130stanbul Film Festival, \u0130stanbul; FENDA, Belo Horizonte; Dokufest, Prizren; MakeDox, Skopje; The Bret Llewellyn Art Gallery, Alfred; and Turbulence, Marseille.
