Special Event 7/12/2023 6-8pm
Exhibition at The Turkish House
Known for its breathtaking natural beauty and historic cultural sites, Turkiye has recently experienced two major events in its history: a mega earthquake and a critical election. This exhibition, which is to be held at the Turkish Consulate General in New York, attempts to demonstrate the Turkish people’s strong will to move forward regardless of natural disasters or major political events.
Featuring five prominent Turkish artists and one well-established American artist, "Colors of Hope" presents a culmination of Turkish civilization that depicts daily life, historical architecture, and Turkish cuisine, to name a few. While the exhibition includes traditional Turkish art forms, such as miniature drawings and Ebru (Turkish marbling) works, scenes are also rendered in fantastical contemporary watercolor and oil paintings. The majestic Hagia Sophia, cheerful wedding scenes, and the nostalgic Bosporus sunset represent what life is to be continued in Turkiye despite political and environmental turmoil. Each artwork is filled with beautiful colors, and every painting sends its best wishes to the Turkish people. We are hopeful that the positivity shall continue.
About Us
IMUR (stands for “I am you are.”) is an art gallery that is dedicated to creating shared experiences and promoting talents of our time who explore ideas across cultures. Located at 67 Greene Street, Jersey City, IMUR opened with a recognition that the US has the most diverse population in the world – every race, gender, religion with cultural histories and artistic traditions interwoven into astonishing forms of intercultural expression. In this expansive atmosphere, IMUR began its programming with contemporary thematic exhibitions and events to harness the energies of its ‘local’ communities, to bridge multi-cultural ‘differences,’ and to exemplify the aspirations of artists engaged with reflecting and reacting to the state of the world in its immediacy and complexity.
