Our city, our story through the eyes of the artist

 

Curator Cenk Gençdis says the following about the exhibition: ‘...

Harputluoglu is a photography volunteer who weaves her own artistic cocoon by kneading her professional experience with her artistic perspective. In her exhibition Lines, Graphics & The City, she tells a city story by bringing different disciplines together. The sketches she has created over the years, her photographs from different cities, the natural stones used in architectural structures, the music you will listen to while visiting the exhibition transform the world around us into a Kübra Mercan Harputluoglu story... A visual story with us, with cities in its lines, a story that will find its meaning with the contribution of the audience in each line...
