What: Screening: ‘A Bunch of Questions with No Answers’ (2024), Alex Reynolds and Robert Ochshorn A Bunch of Questions with No Answers is a record of the questions posed by journalists to the US State Department during press briefings between October 3, 2023, and the end of the Biden administration about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. The 23-hour film by artists Alex Reynolds and Robert Ochshorn deliberately omits the convoluted answers to these questions that demand transparency and accountability. The work is a compelling account of the asymmetry in how discourse is produced, the ambiguity of official language, and the limits of the mechanisms for public accountability. The film has been shown internationally, including in Belfast, Brussels, Ghent, New York, and Madrid. When: 29 November 13h00 – 30 November, 12h00 Where: Salt Beyoğlu, Istanbul More information

In this exhibition, Raad expands his temporal, geopolitical, cultural, and epistemological frame by inserting aspects of the Slovenian and (post)Yugoslav worlds, which he tackles through new works created in dialogue with archival material from Moderna galerija.

Unlike the Gaza Tribunal, the TPCGP-25 does not investigate the commission of genocide itself, but rather the complicity of third parties in it, in line with recent pronouncements by international bodies (especially the International Court of Justice in July 2024 and the United Nations General Assembly in September 2024) regarding the obligations and responsibilities of third parties with respect to apartheid, illegal occupation, and other forms of violation of international law by Israel.
