In our 493rd art meeting, we will come together in a conversation titled “Loneliness in Anatolia” moderated by our association member sociologist Aslı Sağal within the scope of our ongoing exhibition Impressions from Anatolia at IBB Bakırköy Art.

Impressions from Anatolia is a project in which we host successful students studying at fine arts faculties in different cities of Anatolia in Istanbul, introduce them to the art environment and contribute to their development. Students have the opportunity to present the works they produce in this process to art lovers in an exhibition with the same name.

In this special meeting, we will discuss how the concept of loneliness is shaped in the works of young artists from various cities in Anatolia. By reflecting on the power of art to express loneliness, we will evaluate how loneliness is expressed through art in individual and social contexts from a historical and sociological perspective.
