A Dream...but not Yours: Contemporary Art from Turkey
Turkey has long been considered a nation with one foot in the East and the other in the West, whose art and design production has permeated and influenced European nations over the past four centuries. In the 21st century, Turkey’s contemporary artists ensconce themselves mentally in global art production, notwithstanding the physical location of their studios. The National Museum of Women in the Arts is pleased to present some of the leading women artists who claim Turkey as their homeland, but whose video art, photography, and painting declare their identity. A Dream…but not Yours: Contemporary Art from Turkey features work by eleven internationally-established artists who pose the elemental question “why do so many women seek to conform and adhere to standards set by others, and continue to be judged by their roles as spouse, mother, and keeper of the house?”
The presentation of A Dream…but not Yours: Contemporary Art from Turkey at the National Museum of Women in the Arts is generously sponsored by Akbank, DEIK/Turkish–American Business Council, and the Members of NMWA with in-kind support from the Embassy of Turkey.
$10 general, $8 students/visitors 65 and over, free for NMWA members and youth 18 and under.
