Athens Inner City Broadcast #69 - Mavi Deniz

Explorations of the inner city sounds of Athens and surrounding areas through lucid soundscapes and site-specific transmissions.

This episode is dedicated to my late grandmother Chrisanthi Miliopoulou Gavriilidou. She was my main influence growing up and a strong female figure. She was born in Istanbul in the 30s. She used to climb the huge cargo and oil tanker ships in the Bosporus sea, and dive from incredible heights. She was a storyteller...

She is still remembered as a historical figure in the area of Paşabahçe Turkey. Her late husband was a well-known doctor and they both had a huge impact on the local community, which was made up of many different nationalities and ethnicities. She taught me to respect people and to be a citizen of the world.

She bought me my first spray cans for my first graffiti and supported me in all my ventures until the last day of her life. She was an immigrant, a fighter and a strong maternal figure to many. She did not fear death, not even cancer. She will always be with her loved ones and with me forever.

Çok iyi insanlardı ışıklarda uyusun.
