Synopsis

An episode of the documentary series Old Houses, Old Masters that focuses on the original architectural structuring of the Central Anatolia Region, known as Cappadocia, around Kayseri, Nevşehir and Ürgüp.

Our take

Centering on the nahıl, a ceremonial palm-shaped figure carried in weddings and circumcision rites, Erciyes’in Bereketi records a fading symbol of fertility and abundance. With measured attention, Suha Arın preserves a ritual where belief, craft, and communal memory briefly converge.
