"The Den is a series of meditative works in sound and other media that gather material from Sop's regular trips to their 'den'. As someone in the "clinically extremely vulnerable" category for coronavirus, Sop has been shielding. In response to circumstances during lockdown, they take solitary walks at dawn in a nearby wood and cemetery, socially distancing from all but the buried, rediscovering the healing power of nature. There they have made their own secret den, which has become a calm, nature refuge where they can hide in public and go 'off-grid'."--From Disability Arts Online website. <a href="https://disabilityarts.online/magazine/showcase/sop-the-den-meditative-sound-art-in-response-to-lockdown/">https://disabilityarts.online/magazine/showcase/sop-the-den-meditative-sound-art-in-response-to-lockdown/</a>

Den. 1

Audio recording for an event held online by Wellcome Collection, London, 11 March 2021. Artist and musician Sop and their collaborators reflect on how it felt to be shielding during the Covid-19 pandemic. Sop asked their network of chronically ill friends to respond to the idea proposed in their sound work 'The Den 1'. The recorded responses are from artist and musician Camille Francis Lerner, curator and writer Irene Revell, bookseller Ollie Simpson, Sarah P, and artist and cultural producer Zuleika Lebow, and relate to their contributions to 'Your den', a poster designed by Sop and Yves Sanglante (Wellcome Collection no. 3288057i). The video accompanying the audio is of the poster. <a href="https://wellcomecollection.org/events/YBwu-xMAACEAuwI0">https://wellcomecollection.org/events/YBwu-xMAACEAuwI0</a>

"Deniz Beşer'in yeni fanzinini sizlerle paylaşmaktan mutluluk duyarız. 'Bir Corona Fanzini: Evde Kalındı', virüsün başlangıcından itibaren Beşer'in üzerine çalıştığı birtakım Corona temalı çizim ve fikirleri barındırıyor. Beşer, bu fanzin de can sıkıntılarını mizah ile yenmeye ve çizime dönüştürmeye çalıştı. Fanzinin yanında ufak bir hediye de mevcut. Corona döneminde bir tüketim ikonuna dönüşen tuvalet kağıdını ise Beşer, size olası zorlu günler için hediye ediyor. Kim bilir! Belki durumlar çok uzar ve tuvalet kağıdına bir gün yine çok ihtiyacınız olabilir! / We are happy to present the newest fanzine of Deniz Beser. "A Corona Zine: Stayed at Home" consists of Corona-themed drawings and ideas which Beser had been working on since the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak. In this zine, Beser tried to overcome his boredom with humorous reflections of his thoughts during multiple lockdowns. His intention was to gather these drawings in a fanzine and share them with You. The Zine also comes with a small freebie - a toilet paper roll. Toilet paper has turned into a popular symbol in the beginning of the Outbreak, and has now become iconic. Who knows! Maybe you'll need it for your next panic attack!"--From zinester's website. <a href="http://heytbefanzin.limitedrun.com/products/678963-deniz-beser-a-corona-zine-stayed-at-home">http://heytbefanzin.limitedrun.com/products/678963-deniz-beser-a-corona-zine-stayed-at-home</a>
