A comprehensive book to be published by Güneştekin Foundation will accompany the exhibition.
Exhibition highlights cultural diversity
Ahmet Güneştekin explains that discriminatory practices, as in all mass displacements after the population exchange and its aftermath, became more visible with international waves of refugees and migrants. Gavur Mahallesi offers the opportunity to understand the historical, cultural and political effects of being human. While establishing a relationship with form, material and surface through a multidisciplinary work, he creates a space to look at the past through the eyes of otherness by examining the past with the present.
