What Is Ismyrna About?
The premise of Ismyrna without spoilers.
Joana Hadjithomas and the artist and poet Etel Adnan explore a shared connection to Smyrna, now Izmir, Turkey, a city neither has visited. Their families, Greek and Syrian, were exiled from Smyrna following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, leaving them with a legacy of trauma and a longing for a place they’ve only known through stories. Through personal recollections and reflections, they examine the region’s history, the shifting borders, and the complex themes of identity and belonging, questioning how to reconcile with the sorrow passed down through generations.
