SUMMARY:Traditional Tragacanth Dolls Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Yunus Emre Institute London Gallery from 7th to 10th May 2024 for the debut exhibition of Traditional Tragacanth Dolls by Sibel Radiye Gül. Discover a unique collection exploring Anatolian motifs\, Turkish-British relations\, and universal themes. \nTraditional Tragacanth Doll Artist Sibel Radiye Gül’s first tragacanth doll exhibition in London showcases a unique art form that connects storytelling from the past to the future. \nSelected from the Cappadocia Museum of Art and History\, the exhibition features a wide collection ranging from female motifs in Anatolia from ancient times to the present\, Turkish-British relations\, famous portraits\, and universal messages. The exhibition is organised by the TB Centre for Cultural and Creative Industries in London in collaboration with the Yunus Emre Institute. \nSibel Radiye Gül is a traditional crafts artist who has been working on tragacanth dolls since 1980. Especially in works depicting Anatolian history\, culture\, and folk tales\, tragacanth dolls are brought to life with costumes and decorated scenes appropriate to the selected theme. Due to her training in various fields of traditional Turkish arts (wood carving\, cross-stitch\, embroidery\, needle lace\, marbling\, felt\, miniature\, illumination)\, Radiye Gül prepares all the costumes\, decorations\, and accessories required for tragacanth doll compositions herself. Gül has been registered as the “Turkish Ministry of Culture’s Traditional Tragacanth Doll Artist” since 2012. She exhibits domestically and internationally\, continuing her tragacanth doll work with stories reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia. \nThe Cappadocia Museum of Art and History\, founded by Gül in 2001 as Turkey’s first Tragacanth Doll Museum\, is an important cultural memory space for the making\, preservation\, and transmission to future generations of traditional tragacanth dolls. The museum has been operating in the town of Mustafapaşa (Ürgüp) in Cappadocia under the status of a “private museum” affiliated with the Turkish Ministry of Culture since 2005.

SUMMARY:Book Launch & Signing: My Father Cemil Meriç with Ümit Meriç
DESCRIPTION:[vc_btn title=”Click Here to Register” color=”success” size=”lg” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fmyfathercemilmeric.eventbrite.co.uk%2F|title:Click%20Here%20to%20Register|target:_blank”] \nYunus Emre Institute London Presents the book launch & signing of My Father Cemil Meriç: A Turkish Intellectual of the 20th Century by the acclaimed author Ümit Meriç. \nOn the 7th of May 2024\, at 7 PM\, join us for an evening of discovery and homage to Cemil Meriç\, a luminary whose writings have illuminated the corridors of Turkish thought. His daughter\, Ümit Meriç\, brings to life his enduring legacy through her book\, which we are proud to launch and celebrate. Guiding us through the evening’s narrative is John Shakespeare Dyson\, whose translation has opened a window for English-speaking audiences. \n“Words are my shadow reflected in the water\,’ he said. ‘I cannot stroke them or kiss them. Words are an invitation that is pleasant to receive. They are a bridge linking one heart to another\, a staircase leading from century to century. Words are the stream in which I view myself. Words have no end; they are annihilation!”\n– Cemil Meriç\n\n \nCemil Meriç’s reflections on words as bridges between hearts and epochs capture the essence of his intellectual journey. His daughter\, Ümit Meriç\, continues this journey\, offering her own perspectives as a scholar and as the keeper of her father’s flame. \nCemil Meriç\, a thinker ahead of his time\, challenged prevailing ideologies and enriched Turkish literature with his translations and original works. His daughter\, Ümit Meriç\, a respected sociologist\, has captured the essence of her father’s intellectual spirit in this biography\, offering readers a chance to grasp the depth of his influence on Turkish culture and politics. \nThe translated work\, “My Father Cemil Meriç: A Turkish Intellectual of the 20th Century\,” is a tribute to a man whose life was a tapestry of literature\, philosophy\, and social critique. \nThe evening promises to be a profound exploration into the life and works of Cemil Meriç\, whose philosophical and literary contributions have shaped the contours of Turkish intellectualism. \nThe translated work\, “My Father Cemil Meriç: A Turkish Intellectual of the 20th Century\,” is a tribute to a man whose life was a tapestry of literature\, philosophy\, and social critique. This special evening will not only unveil the book but also offer it for purchase at a special discount\, exclusively for attendees. A book signing session with the author will follow\, providing a unique opportunity to connect with the minds behind the book. \nDo not miss this unique opportunity to honour the legacy of a man whose thoughts continue to echo through the generations\, inviting reflection\, discussion\, and a deeper understanding of the cultural and political landscape he influenced. \nAdmission is FREE but registration is ESSENTIAL via Eventbrite. \nNote: The Turkish version of the event will also be held on 9 May at 7 PM.\n[vc_btn title=”Click Here to Register” color=”pink” size=”lg” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2FBabamCemilMeric.eventbrite.co.uk|title:Click%20Here%20to%20Register|target:_blank”] \nThis event forms part of the Arts & Culture Lecture Series organised by Yunus Emre Institute London since 2017. \nIMPORTANT NOTES \nPlease note that this event is first come first served and may be overbooked.
