[Commpsych] Meet Kate Cullen: a sociology student from Sydney

[Serdar M. Degirmencioglu]

Kate Cullen is a sociology student from Sydney who has been living in Istanbul for several months. She is 21, and took part in the protests during the first 3 days. She was both gassed and shot with a TOMA water cannon. Today she will talk about her memories and experiences during the protests, and about the people who helped her. A part of Kate is in all the people who have been following the Turkish protests. Pictures were shot by many photographers as she was standing with her arms up in a black dress while being sprayed by a TOMA water cannon. At the time, she was being a peaceful and passive protester. These images have since become icons of the protests, now she is known as the “siyahli kadin” (woman in black).
