Tradition from the cradle to the grave - Diyarbakir's Memory
FROM SOURCE:
Moments when life begins, or comes to an end with the last breath find social meaning expressed in a series of rituals that vary according to religions and cultures. Cities like Diyarbakir where, throughout history, identities have intersected, allow us to observe how such different traditions have come into contact with and even influenced each other. Researcher and writer Birsen Inal wrote about birth and death rituals of Islamic origin in Diyarbakir. The mostly intertwined Assyrian and Armenian rituals were examined by researcher Mehmet Simsek. Art historian Birgiil Acikyildiz focused on Yezidi faith traditions from the cradle to the grave, extending onto beliefs about the after life, all enriching the exhibition with their contributions.
