"You cannot avoid being subjective." - Doris Lessing reminds us in The Golden Notebook that our path to overcoming fears lies in writing about personal experiences. Our problems are not solely our own - when we share our stories, we speak for many others whose experiences mirror our own. As a student in Austria, I took on multiple roles to support myself: dishwasher, cleaner, advertiser, barmaid, teacher, artist. Each role revealed how sharing and multiplying these identities led to freedom. This realization inspired "Befreiende Evas", a project exploring women's* emancipation as both a reflection of and response to our fragmented world. "Befreiende Evas" emerges from the complex identities of women* who appear simplified in official records. We reject simple categorizations like "worker, girlfriend, politician, housewife, mother." Instead, we collect memories, feelings, documents, news clippings, stories, and artworks in an avant-garde fanzine format. Women* from all backgrounds are invited to contribute. "Every woman* will add her stone to this project, building the moral structure of our future." We aim to create an "identity gateway" questioning not just female identity but also ethnic, class, and ideological identities. Additionally, we organize monthly Golden Days in Turkey, where women* gather to connect, share, and support each other.
