Illustrated History. 1995
Textile collage, 215 x 530 cm
The work of this renowned Turkish artist has explored, with a rebellious and risky determination, the uneven historical status of women as a result of the roles they have been assigned to in their culture. It has also examined the transformation of her city because of political changes in the region. Illustrated History is a hand-stitched collage resembling a kaftan or tunic tied by a girdle, a symbol of power and wealth in the past. It is a sort of storytelling of passages whose importance draws from the presence of women.
