This publication project describes the gamification process of complex environmental problems through the Marmara game and is not intended as a game guide. The main purpose of the publication is to propose mapping methods between gamification mechanics and environmental dynamics as a model that can be used to address environmental problems. Marmara is a four-player board-game. Played with the beings of the Marmara Sea as characters, the game is centered on survival in a rapidly changing ecosystem.

SAHA provided publication support for Nasan Tur’s book with the same title, prepared in the context of the exhibition hunted, which took place at Berlinische Galerie between May 26, 2023 - January 4, 2024. Nasan Tur deals with the political and social conditions of our time. His works are experimental arrangements that make ideologies, social norms and patterns of behavior visible and expand them with options for individual action. To do this, he examines statements, gestures and images that he finds in the media and in public space and condenses them into miniatures of current social crises and discourses. The focus is on the question of how given role models influence us and when we are ready to cross borders and actively change social patterns in the face of oppression, powerlessness and manipulation.
