DESCRIPTION:The Truth and Humor of the Turkish Resistance:\n Art Exhibit Highlighting 
 the Uprising Gezi Movement in Turkey\n\nThere will be a multi-media photo 
 art show with humor about the struggle to defend the Gezi movement and 
 against the destruction of the park in Istanbul.\n\nThe Turkish American 
 Gezi Platform (TAGP) presents an exhibit of photos and footage of the 
 recent Gezi Demonstrations that took place in Turkey. \n\n“Turkey is the 
 last bastion of a meaningful democracy and freedom in the Muslim Middle 
 East.” said Bugra Bakan, President of TAGP, “if Turkey falls into chaos 
 and Islamic fanaticism, the world would be a much more dangerous place”. 
 \n\nThe exhibit is the first of its kind and brought together people from 
 the Turkish American Community along with San Francisco Bay Area locals in 
 support of the movement in Turkey for an improved democracy. \n\nThe 
 exhibit illustrates how Turkish peoples’ right to their little park 
 quickly turned into the Gezi movement representing human rights, 
 environmentalism and civil liberties. The movement has gained worldwide 
 attention with its unique use of humor in resistance against police 
 brutality. \n\n Video footage and photographs taken by protestors in 
 Istanbul and throughout Turkey that are on display will pique the interest 
 of all attendees, from art lovers, to political supporters, and local 
 residents alike. \n\n TAGP aims to continue its efforts and to have an 
 active role in raising awareness of the ongoing events and petition 
 American political representatives to denounce oppressive Turkish 
 government leaders. \n\n TAGP states that this initial exhibit will serve 
 to be the first of a series of such events that will bring together those 
 who are committed to true democracy. It is also the aim of TAGP to further 
 improve freedom of speech and support a transparent government for all 
 people of Turkey and elsewhere in the world.\n\nSee
