Femin-art supports peace with art

TRABZON - Anatolia News Agency

The Femin-Art Female Artists Association will bring together 300 artists from Turkey and around the world to open joint exhibits in 15 Turkish provinces between Jan. 5 and 12 in an effort to highlight and contribute to world peace.

“We are living among wars currently and that’s why we need to contribute to peace. We will gather artists via social media and internet channels,” the president of Femin-Art, Şükran Üst, told the Anatolia news agency, adding that those involved hope to contribute to world peace through artistic means.

Noting that there will be several similar organizations in the future, Üst stressed the importance of advocating for peace via art.

Üst said the exhibition is focused around the words of Atatürk, “Peace in the country, peace in the world,” and they aim to make art works for peace.
