Beneath Crowded Skies explores the relationship between graffiti culture and the ongoing armed operations in the land of ‘The Fortress’. The archeological reports show how the residents of this ancient city purposefully left marks to be recuperated by future generations; however, excavations also reveal other findings. The fluctuation of long-term and temporary residents of Dura-Europos, the comings and goings of invaders, looters and armed militias, also resulted in inscriptions on the walls of private homes, temples, and religious places. Every individual who either helped to enrich or destroy this ancient land scratched their intimate thoughts or their political and social concerns onto the walls. By exposing and layering this multitude of voices, Doğrusöz intertwines the history and the present, and further locates visual traces as a site of political strategizing and disobedience.
