Kıyıya Vuran İnsanlık

We don't know them. We don't even know their names. Many of them were not even reflected on newspaper pages as 'numbers'. All their roads were blocked and all doors were closed to them. Millions of people wore life jackets and tried to reach Europe, the so-called bastion of human rights, in rubber boats, tiny boats, and old fishing boats. Thousands drowned in the Aegean Sea. They got lost in the dark waters. In 2015, 484 people died and 206 people went missing in the Aegean Sea. They died because we didn't want to know them, because we didn't want to learn their names. When baby Alan Kurdi washed ashore in Bodrum in September last year, what we saw was not just a lifeless little child's body, it was humanity that washed ashore.

This almanac is about the dead, their stories and why they died... It's about knowing them, learning about them, missing them.
