'On Translating Ecologies' emerged from the cultural background and history that Alaa Abu Asad (Palestine) and Ulufer Çelik (Mediterranean Turkey) share. Together they delved into common traditions, food and especially language, unraveling the similarities and searching for underlying stories. The artists collected words that are commonly used in both Turkish vernaculars and (Palestinian) Arabic. Together with drawings and audio, they were shown in an installation. Asad and Çelik also organized a series of events in Kiosk, including a drawing workshop and a lecture-performance, in which they shared the words with the public and explained their informal collection method.
