karahaber.org (2003-2011)- karahaber(blacknews) video action atelier
Formed by a group of vidiots around 2000. It’s a website/online platform combining video and activism coming from the gray streets of Ankara, sometimes Istanbul and beyond. This project is no longer active, but people from the project are active, in one way or other, with video and activism..
