Hüseyin Suat, “Yamalar” adlı oyunu sahneye koymuştu ve “Emel” karakterini Eliza Binemeciyan adlı bir yabancı oyuncu oynuyordu. Oyunun 13 Nisan 1919’da Kadıköy’deki Apollon Sineması’nda ilk gösteriminin yapılması bekleniyordu. Sonra bir gün Eliza ‘nın Paris’e gitmesi gerekti ve onun yerini dolduracak bir kadın oyuncu arayışına düşüldü.Jale takma adını kullanarak ilk kez

About Safiye Otman

For me, art is not merely expression; it is a form of liberation, resistance, and making the invisible visible. Each layer
echoes the voices of women silenced throughout history.
My understanding of art is to fly and never land on earth. Because freedom lies beyond borders, in that boundless
space freed from gravity.
I depict the multilayered state of being a woman: a veil covering a wound, a hidden cry, or light overflowing
from memory… Each of my works transcends an individual narrative and rewrites the collective female memory.
Art cannot be liberated without women being liberated. My practice is based on giving voice to the silent, eyes
to the invisible, and a voice to the silenced. Because both art and life multiply with women. And I speak from
within that multiplication.
