İbrahim Ethem Gören: “We deem this exhibition as a shelter during the pandemic”

Art consultant and researcher-writer İbrahim Ethem Gören, the curator of the exhibition “Female Artists– Esmâs and Hilyes,” highlighted that our traditional arts heal the soul: “Our exhibition is a new link of the events organized by Yıldız Holding out of respect for the month of Ramadan which symbolizes mercy and grace… In this link, you will witness the efforts of contemporary illumination artists to present to contemporary people the beautiful names of Allah and the pure characteristics of our Beloved Prophet in the naive language of the art of illumination. We deem this exhibition as a shelter in this pandemic period which we have been experiencing for over a year.”
