Episode 3

Justice of Walking

In the third episode of Justice Atlas 2, we discuss the relationship between walking and justice with Ottoman historian Caroline Finkel, cinema studies scholar Aslı Özgen and feminist activist Feride Eralp. We talk about the causes and consequences of walking for justice, starting from the March 8 Feminist Night March.

In this episode we discuss who, where and when are we allowed to walk and how the right to walk can be violated. As we talk about the early cinema and its counterparts in the city, we also look at what it means to walk around the peripheries of Istanbul by overcoming obstacles.

Here are some of the questions we seek answers to in this episode:

What are the qualities that make walking different from other activities? What does walking in the March 8 Feminist Night March mean for women and LGBTI+? Who can't walk in the public space in early cinema? At what times does the camera switch from outdoor to indoor? What determines the limits of walking on the outskirts of Istanbul? How does the landscape become an archive of injustices?
