Delighted to learn from Ayse Emel Gümüs about the protective traditions associated with peach tree wood in both China and Turkey. We went searching for peach trees at Yuyuantan park last week.
Ayse offers art workshops at the Turkish Cultural Centre in Beijing.

Open Call for your tree story on video
Memory Palace of Trees is socio-ecological art practice which invites your participation to tell a story (or give some kind of information) about trees. It is a social enquiry of how to live better with the planet and with people by sharing tree stories.
Memory Palace of Trees will continue throughout 2022. The submissions are video format. If you have a story you can tell in less than a minute, please find your favorite tree and video yourself on your phone telling the story. I can help with adding the English or Chinese subtitles. Please ensure the sound quality of your recording is clear as possible. If you have any questions about this. Also, If you are in Beijing I can meet up with you and assist in the filming.
Looking forward to hearing from you.I can be contacted directly on this platform.
