SUMMARY:“Letters from/to my homes” Workshop with Ezgi Türker
DESCRIPTION:Tickets $0-$25\, please register. \nThis workshop invites participants to address their personal homes by writing letters. A lived home or a home yet to come\, or an imagined home. A past or future self\, a person\, the land and the inhabitants of the land. We’ll write together to write letters where we find refuge and we’ll listen to letters from these ‘homes’.  \nThis workshop is facilitated by resident artist\, Ezgi Türker\, who is working on her project “Letters from/to my homes”. This project began as an intimate exchange between her two selves: one who remains in Istanbul and one who now lives in Calgary/Mohkinstsis. Through this correspondence\, she reflects on memory\, longing\, and the simultaneous act of losing and creating home. Each letter becomes a dialogue between two temporal selves\, reimagining the parallel lives that might have unfolded elsewhere.  \nThis is part of the HOME residency in July/August 2026 at Sparrow Artspace and gratefully funded by Calgary Arts Development.
