(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2021) Topcu, Bahar; Akyüz, Ali Alper
ABSTRACT: This thesis analyzes the performative practices of climate protests in Istanbul through three forms of climate aesthetics; science, politics and art, by recognizing that we are in a new climate regime. Conceptual contents were handled separately, and related practices were examined through this content. First of all, by explaining the performative aesthetics of the climate; scientific, political and artistic contents are shared respectively. After discussing the role of our relationship with non-human beings in the climate regime through Rancière's concept of aesthetics, how climate aesthetics intersect in art and climate activism practices in Istanbul after the Gezi Park resistance is evaluated. The relationship between art and the climate crisis in the New Climate regime is discussed through the practices embodied in the second part of the study. These practices are respectively: 16th Istanbul Biennial, "The Seventh Continent", "Which Future Will You Leave Me: Girls and the Climate Crisis" exhibition and an activist performance by Extinction Rebellion Istanbul called "Hurdahaş" and the protest to the fossil fuel sponsorship in the 16th Istanbul Biennial.
