Çeyizlab is a research project tackling with çeyiz (trousseau)-a traditional gift-giving to the bride in Turkey. Due to the societal changes, çeyiz is under a transformation. By looking at the past and speculating about the future of çeyiz, our research question emerged: Can we envision scenarios that would turn the existing transformationof this tradition into preferable futures? We answered this question by conducting online focusgroups, auto-ethnography sessions and expert interviews. Based on ouranalysis, the idea of a Manifesto has emerged. This manifesto was embroidered on a fabricreflecting the stories, memories and desires of the women with whom we interviewed. To spread out the message of the manifesto, we decided to make a short film that gives rise to discussions aroundthe issues entangled within çeyiz.
