Whispering Walls is a creative, cinematic, and artistic meditation on a Turkish artist in New York in the 1960s as he is trying to navigate his way in an intricate time in American history when people were out on the streets for civil rights and when art was a true act of struggle expressing itself in the most intense way on street walls. Set against the backdrop of whispering walls of the world, the artist’s monumental photographic archive of urban walls in 114 countries which chronicles the winds of societal change from the 1960s to the 2000s, the film exposes dazzling works of Doğançay’s lifetime ouvre, some of them released for the first time in this documentary, some of them defined as masterpieces as world’s greatest artistic monuments like Metropolitan Museum of Art and question why they are still relevant today.
