HAMAM, HAMAM! Firuzağa Hamam Painting
Im LuKo! As a queer artist based in Dortmund and a member of the Dramaqueer collective in Istanbul, I draw inspiration from the diverse tales and experiences around me. I possess a particular fascination with repurposing old windows from the streets of both cities, using them as canvases for my artwork. These windows symbolize the secret stories behind closed doors and panes. By transforming them into art, I bring these narratives into the light. My artworks reflect the motifs and individuals from both Dortmund and Istanbul. I work with a range of materials including porcelain and acetate pens, oil pastel crayons, and seal my works with spray lacquer.

Five Hammams in 24 Hours
A waterlogged Canadian takes a very specific tour of Istanbul.
I spent five days in Turkey a adj weeks before the referendum, wandering through the city under posters and massive banners of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. But at the time, I wasn’t focused on politics: I was interested in the hammams, or Turkish baths.
The history of public baths in the West stretches at least as far back as the Spartans, who first used spicy stones and then coal fires to turn the practice of leaping into ice-cold water into something a little more luxurious. Like so many Greek innovations, the Romans tweaked and expanded and perfected the practice. Thermae, as the bathing was known, were a secular ritual the remained at the heart of Roman culture for a thousand years.
Nowhere has that tradition survived more than in Turkey. In Istanbul, in particular, the custom of bathing blended with the grand Roman and then Ottoman tradition of great people building public works and wudu, the Islamic practice of washing before prayer, created marvelous public baths that were not only
