OF CARRIER BAGS, GARDENS AND BOXES

Exhibition Talk with Aslıhan Demirtaş, Dilşad Aladağ, Eda Aslan

“ The earth of the Alfred Heilbronn Botanical Garden has been inscribed by identity politics,
rifts, exiles and coercion as well as life, care and continuity. The Garden of (not) Forgetting is a
transcription, or better yet, a propagation of the damaged space and everything connected to
it into a version of alternative politics: alternatives which act by recreating an accessible
version of the inaccessible herbarium, and naming another one after the female scientist
whose name was previously not uttered and telling the stories of the oscillating lives of the
scientists burdened by politics of their own species but adopted and rescued by a planetary
garden. This is a work of salvage and that of resistance, one which not only collects but
recreates from pieces, remembers and propagates its subject and its entanglements in soils
reimagined.“ (Demirtaş, 2021)


Dilşad Aladağ and Eda Aslan will be in conversation with Aslıhan Demirtaş (architect and
researcher) who wrote the exhibition text, on their first exhibition “The Garden of (not)
Forgetting” at DEPO Istanbul, their journey which began in 2017 with excursions in the
Alfred Heilbronn Botanical Garden, as well as on the topics of travelling, gathering and
storytelling.
