Archive of Çeyizlab

SPECULATIVE ARTEFACT by Seçil Uğur Yavuz (unibz)  and Hazal Gümüş Çiftçi, (The Ohio State University, College of Arts and Sciences)

Another outcome of Ceyizlab is the archive of Ceyizlab that contains cards with photos and information of different women’s dowries shared with us via Internet. (we collected around 300 pieces). The box includes a piece of lace, yarn, a needle, and a thimble to hack the lace to give a new meaning, while the card set has random empty cards referring to 2030 to speculate about possible future pieces that can be added to the archive.
