| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article traces the effect of the ‘Kurdish opening,’ which led to an artistic surge among Turkey’s Kurdish minority, and the recent renewal of the conflict, which has significantly inhibited that surge. By juxtaposing these two periods, defined in terms of the state’s approach to the Kurds, and looking at the field of Kurdish arts as a space, practice, and discourse, it presents a more holistic picture of Kurdish responses to political turbulence in Turkey, where Kurdish cultural identity and its expression have always been an integral part of the Kurdish political struggle. |
