SUMMARY:Talk | Deconstructing The ‘Chinese’ in Africa by Melike Toprak
DESCRIPTION:Young Scholar Seminar Series #40\nChinese Capital and Local Agency in Kenya’s Housing Sector \nwith Melike Toprak (UCL) \nYunus Emre Enstitüsü – London is pleased to host the 40th session of its Young Scholar Seminar Series\, featuring Melike Toprak\, PhD Candidate at the Development Planning Unit\, UCL. \nThis talk explores the role of Chinese actors in Africa beyond common assumptions that portray them as a single\, homogeneous group. Focusing on the housing sector in Nairobi\, the presentation examines how Chinese construction firms and developers operate within local markets\, and how their projects are shaped through interactions with local actors. \nDrawing on extensive fieldwork in Kenya\, including interviews\, participant observation\, and survey data\, the research highlights the diversity of Chinese actors—their migration histories\, motivations\, and adaptive strategies—as well as the often overlooked but critical role of local agency in shaping urban development outcomes. \nThe talk also considers how Chinese state and private capital intertwine in international contexts\, creating distinct investment dynamics. It further unpacks the complex relationships between Chinese companies\, local professionals\, and government institutions\, revealing uneven distributions of benefits within Kenyan society. \nThis event offers valuable insights for those interested in urban studies\, development\, global investment\, and Africa–China relations. \n📅 Date: Friday\, 1 May 2026\n🕡 Time: 6:30 PM\n📍 Location: Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London\, 10 Maple Street\, Fitzrovia\, W1T 5HA\n🗣️ Language: English\n🎟️ Admission: Free (registration required) \n\n\nMelike Toprak is a PhD student at the Development Planning Unit at UCL. Her research is at the intersection of studies of critical geopolitics\, development studies and international relations. Specifically\, she focuses on China’s opening out in African countries\, the role of African actors and the operations of Chinese construction companies in Africa. \n\n\nThis talk forms part of the Young Scholar Seminar Series organised by Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London since 2017. \nFor more information on the event\, please visit Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London’s Website: https://yeelondon.org.uk/ or email us at londra@yee.org.tr \nIMPORTANT NOTES: As this is a free event\, we often experience a number of no-shows. To make sure seats don’t go empty\, we may issue a limited number of additional tickets. Admission is therefore subject to venue capacity and operates on a first-come\, first-served basis. Please note that registration or an e-ticket does not guarantee a seat\, and standing admission may be possible. \nPhotography and filming will take place during the event for archiving\, marketing\, and promotional purposes.

SUMMARY:Heaven\, Earth & the Ten Thousand Things Peter Sanders | Talk & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Arts and Culture Lecture Series\, Yunus Emre Institute London presents an evening with world-renowned photographer Peter Sanders\, whose lens has spent decades capturing the profound intersections of the spiritual and the material across the Islamic world. \nIn this talk\, Sanders introduces his seminal work\, Heaven\, Earth\, and the Ten Thousand Things: The Lives of the Muslims of China\, reflecting on his extensive travels through the diverse landscapes and soul-stirring architecture of China’s Muslim heritage. He considers how the photograph acts as more than a mere document; it is a bridge between the seen and the unseen\, where the “ten thousand things” of the physical world point toward a singular\, transcendent reality. \nRather than approaching his subjects as static monuments\, Sanders explores the living breath of Chinese Islamic culture. He discusses the unique synthesis of aesthetic traditions\, where the precision of Confucian order and the fluidity of Taoist thought meet the devotion of the Islamic faith. Through his reflections\, he opens up the process of “spiritual reportage”—the art of waiting for the moment when light and spirit align. At the heart of the talk lies a broader inquiry into the nature of sacred art: how does a photographer move beyond the surface to capture the hidden\, what happens when the visual language of the East encounters the universal values of faith\, and how can a single frame translate the weight of a thousand-year-old tradition for a modern audience? \nMoving between personal anecdote and technical mastery\, this evening offers a rare insight into the life of a traveler who has spent fifty years seeking the signs on the horizon. It is an invitation to reconsider the world not as a collection of disparate objects\, but as a unified\, radiant tapestry of the divine. \nThe talk will be followed by a book signing.

SUMMARY:Istanbul: Myth and Imagination | Jason Goodwin: Talk & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:An evening with historian and novelist Jason Goodwin\, whose work has long engaged with Istanbul. \n\n\n\n\nAs part of the Arts and Culture Lecture Series\, Yunus Emre Institute London presents an evening with historian and novelist Jason Goodwin\, whose work has long engaged with Istanbul not simply as a setting\, but as a site where history\, imagination\, and narrative consciousness intersect. \nIn this talk\, Goodwin reflects on his enduring engagement with the city\, tracing the intellectual and creative pathways that led from historical study to the crafting of fiction. Drawing on his Yashim series\, set in 19th-century Istanbul\, he considers how the city emerges in writing as a layered construct — shaped by archival knowledge\, sensory detail\, and the imaginative reconstruction of lived worlds. \nRather than approaching Istanbul as a fixed historical entity\, the talk explores the city as a continually reinterpreted space\, where memory\, myth\, and material culture are in constant dialogue. Through reflections on storytelling\, food\, and the textures of Ottoman urban life\, Goodwin opens up the processes through which a city is not only described\, but re-authored — shifting between the disciplines of history and the freedoms of fiction. \nAt the heart of the talk lies a broader inquiry into narrative form itself: how does one translate the density of a historical civilisation into the language of the novel? And what happens when scholarly knowledge gives way to imaginative inhabitation? \nMoving between personal reflection and literary analysis\, this talk offers a rare insight into the making of historical fiction\, while also inviting a reconsideration of Istanbul as both an intellectual and imaginative horizon. \nThe talk will be followed by a book signing. \nPresented in collaboration with the Cornucopia Magazine\, a leading publication on the art\, culture\, and history of Türkiye. \n🗓 Thursday\, 16 April 2026 \n🕡 18:30 \n📍 10 Maple Street W1T 5HA \n\n\n \n \nIMPORTANT NOTES: Please note that photography and filming will take place during this event for archiving\, marketing\, and promotional purposes. By attending\, you give your consent to Yunus Emre Institute to use such images and footage in related publications\, digital platforms\, and promotional materials.

SUMMARY:Ottoman Luminaries of Cyprus with Mustafa Kureyşi
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Arts and Culture Lecture Series\, Yunus Emre Institute is pleased to host a special lecture exploring the intellectual and learned life of Ottoman Cyprus\, a vibrant chapter of Mediterranean history often overlooked in broader narratives. \nIn this insightful talk\, researcher Mustafa Kureyşi will explore the lives and legacies of the island’s scholars\, religious figures\, poets\, calligraphers\, and political elites. The lecture situates Muslim Cypriot intellectual activity both within the local landscape of Cyprus and across the wider Ottoman world.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how the island’s unique historical position shaped a distinct intellectual identity that bridged cultures and eras. \nThis event offers a valuable opportunity for historians\, students of Ottoman studies\, and anyone interested in the cultural heritage of Cyprus to explore a rich history of scholarship and leadership that continues to resonate today. \n\nIMPORTANT NOTES: Please note that photography and filming will take place during this event for archiving\, marketing\, and promotional purposes.

SUMMARY:Ramadan Concert Series | BIRMINGHAM | The Sound of Contemplation
DESCRIPTION:Taking place during the month of Ramadan\, The Sound of Contemplation: Silence\, Reflection\, Devotion is a concert that brings Turkish Sufi music into dialogue with the reflective and devotional atmosphere of the holy month. Organised by Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London\, the concert will be held on Saturday\, 7 March 2026\, at 7:30 pm at The Bradshaw Hall\, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. \nRamadan is a time shaped by attentiveness\, restraint\, and inward reflection. Drawing on this shared sensibility\, the concert offers an evening where music unfolds with care and intention\, allowing space for both sound and silence. Rather than presenting a fixed ritual structure\, the programme invites listening as a contemplative act\, aligned with the slower and more mindful rhythm of the month. \nThe repertoire brings together selected works from the broader tradition of Turkish Sufi music\, with a particular emphasis on Ramadan hymns and devotional pieces. While the programme draws on familiar poetic and musical sources\, it is shaped specifically for the holy month\, foregrounding themes of devotion\, humility\, and remembrance. Musical expression remains measured and unhurried\, guided by balance and pacing\, allowing each piece to breathe and the listener to remain within a reflective and grounded state. \nPoetry plays a central role in the programme\, with verses by Yunus Emre and other Anatolian Sufi poets whose words resonate closely with the ethical and spiritual tone of Ramadan. Set within the modal language of Turkish makam music\, these texts unfold gradually\, encouraging reflection rather than immediacy\, and allowing meaning to emerge through attentive listening. \nThe concert is performed by Serda Türkel Oter and Eray Cinpir (vocals)\, with Serdar Yılmaz on qanun and Tolga Oter on oud. The ensemble approaches the repertoire with a shared sensitivity to text\, proportion\, and musical restraint\, shaping the programme as a cohesive listening experience attentive to both expression and stillness. \nDesigned for audiences attentive to musical form\, poetic depth\, and context\, The Sound of Contemplation: Silence\, Reflection\, Devotion offers an intimate and focused listening experience. Within the resonant space of Bradshaw Hall\, the concert invites listeners to pause\, listen closely\, and encounter Sufi music as a reflective practice deeply in tune with the spirit of Ramadan. \nBOOK TICKETS HERE OR HERE \n\n\n\n\n Questions? Email: londra@yee.org.tr \n\n\n\n\nAdditional Information: \n\nPlease arrive by 7:00 PM to allow sufficient time for seating. To ensure an uninterrupted experience for both performers and audience\, late entry will not be permitted after 7:45 PM.\nThe event lasts approximately 60 – 75 minutes with no intermission.\nBradshaw Hall is easily accessible by public transport; please check local routes and parking options.\nSmart casual attire is recommended.\nAs seating is unreserved\, we suggest arriving early.\nGuests are welcome to take photos during the concert; however\, we kindly ask that no flash is used and that photography remains discreet so as not to disturb the performers or audience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition | Traces of Memory by Lütfü Kaplanoğlu
DESCRIPTION:Traces of Memory\, an exhibition that opens a quiet dialogue between memory\, time\, and inner experience. \nTraces of Memory is a solo exhibition by Prof. Dr Lütfü Kaplanoğlu\, taking place between 19 January and 6 February 2026\, and organised by the Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London\, with curatorial support from GOYA. Curated by Yaman Pakdil\, the exhibition brings together a series of works that explore the fragile boundaries between memory\, time\, and the human inner world through a contemporary artistic language. \nKaplanoğlu’s paintings are centred around solitary figures\, always seen from behind. These figures are not anonymous bodies\, nor do they seek to define identity. Instead\, they function as thresholds\, inviting viewers into an interior landscape shaped by sensation rather than narrative. Memory here does not return as a complete image\, but as fragments: a colour\, a gesture\, a feeling that quietly resurfaces. \nWhat distinguishes Kaplanoğlu’s work is the way the viewer becomes a silent participant. As the distance between subject and observer gradually dissolves\, attention shifts inward. One begins by looking at the figure\, and almost without noticing\, begins to look at oneself. In this sense\, memory becomes the medium through which the works are experienced. \nThe exhibition’s curatorial framework draws on the idea of memory as a soft\, malleable material\, something that bends\, compresses\, and reshapes itself over time\, much like memory foam. Building on this idea\, Traces of Memory extends beyond the painted surface through a participatory installation titled The Memory Wall. Visitors are invited to leave a single word in response to the works\, capturing whatever the paintings awaken within them. \nAs the exhibition unfolds\, these words accumulate\, overlap\, and sometimes contradict one another\, forming a collective emotional topography shaped by individual traces. In this way\, the viewers become an integral part of the exhibition\, completing a living archive of shared remembrance. \nTraces of Memory invites audiences to reflect on how memory is formed\, carried\, and quietly sustained\, and how the most enduring impressions are often those we can only approach indirectly. \nThe exhibition opening reception will take place on 19 January 2026.

By tracing the historical development of this enduring tradition\, Prof. Dr. Kızıltoprak will illustrate how Kütahya’s artistic output evolved alongside significant political and cultural shifts\, maintaining a distinct identity that sets it apart from other major centers like İznik. \nThrough a detailed presentation of historical sources and architectural examples\, the talk delves into the technical mastery behind the art\, examining the specific terminology\, intricate patterns\, and vibrant color palettes that define the Kütahya style. Attendees will discover how the city’s openness to multicultural influences and its integration into international trade networks allowed it to sustain production over centuries\, deeply intertwining the art form with everyday life. This event serves as a vital bridge between the past and present\, offering a unique opportunity to engage with a living artistic tradition that continues to shape global visual culture and preserve Anatolia’s historical memory. \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Posters to the Olive Tree of Exile
DESCRIPTION:Supported by Yunus Emre Enstitüsü\, and presented by P21 Gallery Posters to the Olive Tree of Exile\, a solo exhibition by Turkish artist A. Yusuf Aygeç\, will be on view from 15 to 30 January 2026 at P21 Gallery\, 21-27 Chalton Street\, London NW1 1JD\, UK. Curated by Samed Karagöz\, the exhibition foregrounds the power of art to preserve memory and bear witness—particularly in the aftermath of Israel’s relentless attacks on Gaza since October 2023\, destruction widely described by international human rights organisations as “genocidal in nature.” \nIn Aygeç’s works\, the line itself touches the fragile layers of both personal and collective memory. Displacement\, loss\, mourning\, and resistance emerge not as direct representations of violence\, but as a quiet\, resonant light shaping the artist’s aesthetic language. \nEach drawing becomes a letter—not addressed to an individual\, but to the olive tree\, a symbol of endurance and resistance throughout the histories of the Mediterranean and Palestine. This conceptual framework is also reflected clearly in the texts accompanying the exhibition. \nSince October 2023\, Gaza has witnessed the destruction of entire neighbourhoods\, the displacement of hundreds of thousands\, and the systematic targeting of civilians. This period has been defined by many across the international community as a crime against humanity and an act of genocide. \nAygeç’s works do not attempt to visually recreate this devastation; instead\, they make visible the psychological and emotional reverberations of such rupture. The drawings stand as a visual archive against erasure—an aesthetic field of resistance that insists on remembering when forgetting becomes a political tool. \nMany works echo lines from the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish\, the Palestinian “national poet.” Throughout the exhibition\, these verses resonate like wind passing through branches\, creating a subtle memory-line between Darwish’s words and Aygeç’s images. \nPosters to the Olive Tree of Exile underscores the role of art as an ethical space of witnessing in the face of the ongoing humanitarian disaster resulting from Israel’s attacks on Gaza after 2023. The exhibition invites viewers not merely to observe a tragedy\, but to remember and remind—to resist the mechanisms through which history attempts to erase lives\, stories\, and landscapes. \nThe exhibition opening reception will take place on 15 January 2026 18:00-20:00. Click here to RSVP \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCurators\n\nCurated by Samed Karagöz\, Samed is a curator\, writer\, and television producer whose exhibitions focus on memory\, exile\, resistance\, and contemporary political aesthetics.
