Art Institutions of Modern Turkey Lecture at Metropolis Empire Sofil

As part of the Home Works 6 Platform, Metropolis Empire Sofil is hosting a lecture by Zeynep Yasa Yaman called “Art Institutions of Modern Turkey”.

The cultural and artistic patronage by the state that begun with the foundation of the Republic of Turkey continued as a policy until the 1950s. During this period, many public institutions, including banks, were patrons of visual artists. The talk will summarize some of these policies and look at them in more detail.
