how meaning is formed and carried into the future

Project Description

Anatolian Futures: A Memorium for Feminist Folklore reimagines female folkloric characters from Anatolian heritage through a feminist lens, merging traditional mythology with speculative frameworks in an immersive virtual reality (VR) environment. The project employs game mechanics such as hidden object discovery, item collection, and physical interaction with a loom to weave kilim symbols. This weaving metaphor parallels digital creation—loom by loom, byte by byte—highlighting how meaning is formed and carried into the future.
