The case of Gezi Park in Istanbul
Chiara de Cesari discusses the case of the Gezi Park uprising in late spring 2013 to illustrate how heritage can be a factor in popular resistance.
In this interview, she explains how this protest movement denounced the heritage vision of the political party in power in Turkey (the AKP: Justice and Development Party). The Gezi Park movement emerged in opposition to a project aimed at wiping out a park to build a reconstitution of former Ottoman barracks.
