Eidolon Grant 2024

Memory corners: Intimacy, loss, and the nation at home

This essay by Pelin Aytemiz emerges from her research supported by the inaugural Eidolon Grant, awarded in 2024. As she writes, “Exploring different practices of photographing and representing the dead, my dissertation examines how deceased loved ones are remembered and longed for through vernacular photography within the context of family in Turkey.”
