Decolonizing Architecture Art Research (DAAR) was invited to exhibit at the 11th Istanbul Art Biennale. We chose to display the five points of DAAR’s research in a large heavy format, appearing like holy books, encased in lead covers, to intrigue people reading academic material and forensic research. The final perception was also influenced by re-using and transforming the benches of an abandoned elementary school, re-opened as an exhibition space for the occasion. Like “a lecture for absentee students”.
