It is a journalistic and artistic tool that seeks different ways of interpreting the social, political, economic and cultural reality. It does not follow the 24\/7 breaking news cycle; it tends to focuses on subjects with a smaller impact but a bigger universal appeal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>What makes it special is the <strong>interaction between Australia and Greece<\/strong>. Like a bilingual person, this website has two sides: the Australian and the Greek. But it is not necessarily dedicated to\u00a0the Greek &#8220;reffos&#8221; who live Down Under or the Australian expats who reside in Greece. The main concept of this project is to observe the\u00a0world, from South to South, under the prism of geography, geology [from the Greek word <em>\u03b3\u03b7\u00a0<\/em>(&#8220;earth&#8221;) and <em>\u03bb\u03cc\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2<\/em> ( &#8220;discourse&#8221;)] and the \u00a0geopolitics.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Navigating this news startup, you will not find the stereotypical categories of information. <strong>Child<\/strong> deals with important issues that concern the little members of the society. The category\u00a0<strong>Change<\/strong> presents happenings and every sort of action\u00a0that fights against conservatism, thus changing the way we think and interact with the public sphere. In <strong>Channel <\/strong>we present movies and others\u00a0<em>oeuvres<\/em>\u00a0<em>d&#8217; art<\/em> that belong to the universal audiovisual civilisation, along with our own video-productions. <strong>Condolences<\/strong> it not only about obituary writing; it serves as a memento mori which in turn tries to achieve political and social awakening. Last, the category <strong>Cominghome<\/strong> (reversed word of \u2018homecoming\u2019) tries to activate and politicise the concept of the\u00a0<em>Diaspora;\u00a0<\/em>an old term that nowadays has new theoretical dimensions: it concentrates on matters such as <em>dissociation<\/em> and <em>displacement<\/em>, identity politics, cross-cultural clash, trauma history, nostalgia and the loss of homeland.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>Turtle<\/em>\u00a0can be considered a spatial-time framework for the &#8216;misfit&#8217;, the &#8216;outsider&#8217;, the &#8216;outcast&#8217;, in other words the <em>Le <em>diff\u00e9rend<\/em><\/em>, which conceptually could start from the subject of an artist or that of an immigrant or even the one of a \u00a0<em>female escape<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 as the Australian intellect and feminist Germaine Greer once called every dynamic and educated woman &#8211; and expands to the collective\u00a0<span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">consciousness of the\u00a0<\/span>pop subculture and other underground creative scenes. This poly-blog aims to give <em>shelter<\/em> to every restless mind that feels that it does not belong, but still believes in humanity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Sincerely yours<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Helen Vrontis<br \/>Foundress &amp; Director of <em>The Turtle<\/em><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turtle is a hybrid medium that combines slow journalism with new technologies and a combination&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":12,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2842","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"campaignId":"","post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theturtle.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theturtle.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theturtle.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theturtle.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theturtle.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2842"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theturtle.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2842\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13428,"href":"https:\/\/theturtle.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2842\/revisions\/13428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theturtle.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
