Artistic representations, as reflections of society, can also bear witness to migratory experiences, as demonstrated by research in art history and artistic transfers conducted since the 1990s. On one hand, Michel Espagne and Mickaël Werner have highlighted the role of the artist as a “cultural mediator” and a significant actor in intercultural relations in their studies of transfers in the Franco-German space. On the other hand, scholars such as Susan Rubin Suleiman, Joseph Horowitz, Jean-Pierre Morel, Wolfgang Asholt, Georges-Arthur Goldschmidt, and Christine Gouzi have emphasized moments of rupture, tension, and resistance in the artistic creation processes, especially during forced migrations caused by wars, revolutions, political, ethnic, or religious persecutions, as well as economic crises. While literary creations may be directly and significantly affected by writers’ inability to write in their native language when they find themselves in a new artistic environment, the language of non-textual artistic works, as universal as it may appear, can also be influenced by the traumas associated with the migratory context. It can also become a tool for exploring or challenging complex and intimate issues related to identity constructions. In this regard, the meeting scheduled for October 2, 2023, at the French Institute of Anatolian Studies (Institut français d’études anatoliennes, IFEA) in Istanbul, Turkey, aims to address the aforementioned issues by examining two distinct migration experiences originating from the Russian imperial space and lived in Constantinople / Istanbul a century apart, within different historical contexts. We will begin by discussing the experience of Alexis Gritchenko (1883-1977), an artiste who sought refuge in Constantinople (1919-1921). He had received his education in Chernihiv, Kyiv and Moscow. His decision to leave the former Russian Empire after the 1917 revolution was driven by the violence of the civil war. The choice of his city of refuge, then officially known as Constantinople, was influence by his desire to live and work in a city that ignited his imagination. After settling in France in 1922, Alexis Gritchenko, who referred to himself as « the Ukrainian wanderer,” took part in numerous art exhibitions, often simply identified as “Russian art.” Next, we will address questions related to Russian identity in connection with the spontaneous departure of many Russian citizens from Russia following the Russian troops invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Once again, we will focus on the cases of those wo arrived in Istanbul, but this time in the spring and summer of 2022. How do these new, involuntary members of the Russian diaspora in Istanbul perceive their Russian identity? Their representations of the realities of war and their own national identity are at the heart of the work of a photographer and anthropologist who, along with her colleague, collected their testimonies and then visualized them using the artificial neural network Midjourney to generate images from textual descriptions. Eva Rapoport’s exhibition, “/Imagine Unimaginable,” which opens on Otober 2 at the IFEA, indeed represents a fusion between the work of human intelligence and so-called artificial intelligence. The convergence of these two “intelligences” in artistic representations raises crucial questions in our time concerning creativity, authenticity, speed, and ultimately the potential redefinition of artistic expression. This will provide us with the opportunity to discuss, during our exchanges, the friction points between technology and creativity and the philosophical, aesthetic, and ethical implications that arise from them.

EXPOSITION: Ankara : Artisans dans la ville en mutationEntrée gratuite Organisée en collaboration avec l'institut français Ankara
100 ans après sa proclamation comme capitale de la jeune République de Turquie, Ankara est devenue une immense métropole de près de 6 millions d’habitants alors qu’elle n’en comptait que 27 000 en 1923. Partie de la citadelle et des quartiers qui l’entourent, la ville s’est agrandie et des quartiers modernes ont émergé. Le premier gratte-ciel de la Turquie a ainsi été construit à Ankara. Tout au long des années 2000, des centres commerciaux pour tous les goûts et pour tous les moyens se sont multiplié en ville. Les habitudes, les fréquentations, les métiers et le rythme de la vie quotidienne se sont transformés et ont évolué. En avril 2023, nous avons étudié ces évolutions dans le cadre de la conférence « Being or Becoming a Capital in 100 Years : Ankara » dans le cadre du programme de recherche international SPACEPOL coordonné par l’Institut français des études anatoliennes. Cette exposition en est une suite, photographique et incarnée. La vie commerciale et artisanale n’est plus ce qu’elle était au début du siècle. Des métiers phares ont disparu, d’autres résistent et certains restent cantonnés au quartier historique qui, lui aussi, tente de perdurer face à l’urbanisation et à la transformation urbaine rapides. Les portraits et le travail quotidien des artisans photographiés sont nés de la volonté de fournir un éventail des séquences de la vie quotidienne à Ankara. Ankara n’est pas seulement la capitale de la République turque, elle est aussi la somme des expériences vécues par ses habitants. Avec cette exposition, nous voulions rendre hommage à une partie d’entre eux, peu visibles mais indispensables à la vie quotidienne : bienvenues chez les artisans d’Ankara ! Les artistes : Commissaire : Prof.Dr. Gülçin ERDİ Photographe : Vincent DELCOURT
