The 10th Trans Pride Week Exhibition Collective’s exhibition “Look Back – Turn Back: History of the Trans Movement in Turkey” was banned by Beyoğlu District Governorship.
Depo Istanbul has announced the abrupt closure of its exhibition, “Look Back – Turn Back: History of the Trans Movement in Turkey (Turn and See Back: Revisiting Trans Revolutions in Turkey)”, which was scheduled to remain open until July 27. The 10th Trans Pride Week Exhibition Collective’s display was banned on Thursday, 11 July, following a notification from the Beyoğlu District Governorship.
In response to this sudden directive, Depo Istanbul issued a statement: “Due to the notification received from the Beyoğlu District Governorship, we are compelled to close the exhibition, which was initially announced to be open to visitors until 27 July. As the Depo team, we will appeal this banning decision by applying to the judicial process. We will share the developments in the judicial process with the public in the coming days.”
