8 Women at BAU with Their Art on 8 March!

BUART (Bahçeşehir University Art Events Unit) brought together 8 Women with 8 Perspectives on 8 March. Semra Özmerzifon, Rosy Maçoro, Jale Saraçoğlu, Yasemin Aslan Bakiri, Ezgi Turan, Nesime Kantar, Duygu Bağlan and Ayşe Şirin conveyed their perspectives on "women" through the works they exhibited in the Fazıl Say Foyer.

"WOMAN IS LIKE THE OCEAN"

A group exhibition was held at BAU today for "International Women's Day." Yasemin Aslan Bakiri, one of the artists in the exhibition, said: "We are here to make our voices heard." Taking part with her glass works, Bakiri drew attention with her piece named "Ocean," especially because it symbolizes depth, and which she said expresses a woman's inner world, fertility, embrace of love and transparency.

 

"WE ARE AWARE OF THE INJUSTICES ATTRIBUTED TO WOMEN"
 

Rosy Maçoro took part in the exhibition with her sculptures. Maçoro said: "I tried to reflect women's awareness, their being forgotten and the injustices attributed to them." Rosy Maçoro added: "Still, I believe we should think positively and that positive thinking is needed. My work 'Wishful Thinking' is meant to express this."

 

"WORKING WOMEN ARE STRONG"

Jale Saraçoğlu, who supported the Special Group Exhibition for Women's Day with her watercolor paintings, expressed her feelings to all women with these words: "Instead of complaining about being oppressed, women need to express what they can do for themselves. Women who can stand on their own feet and who work are strong, and I will continue to defend this belief with all my faith and heart."
 

Ayşe Şirin, who took part in organizing the event and participated in the group exhibition with her metal sculpture, said: "As Bahçeşehir University BUART, we are happy to support women on such a day."

 

The exhibition, which attracted great interest from visitors, can also be visited tomorrow.
