Curator Hülya Şekercioğlu

The "Harmony" exhibition, in which you will travel to the African nature and human portraits of Süha Derbent, who worked in more than 80 countries from Scandinavia to Madagascar, from Sri Lanka to Canada, and became the first Turkish wildlife photographer in 1998, will be held between 12 April and 19 May, curated by
Hülya Şekercioğlu and from Tanzania, the Turkish subsidiary SkyPalm Travel & It will meet art lovers at Maximum Uniq Hall with the support of Tours.

Süha Derbent, who has more than 2 million photographs in her personal archive and has been praised worldwide in the field of travel and wildlife photography for more than 40 years, will be at Maximum Uniq Hall between 12 April and 19 May with her exhibition titled "Harmony".

AFRICAN NATURE AND PEOPLE PORTRAITS IN “HARMONY”

Saying that seeing Africa and watching nature and animals is actually a journey to one's essence and oneself, Süha Derbent describes the "Harmony" exhibition with the following words;

“Instead of trying to defeat nature, which has existed for millions of years and has a perfect cycle and harmony, we need to learn to be in harmony and make it sustainable.

We must accept that we are an equal part of all living creatures in nature, that we have equal rights, and that we are not more important than them. Today, we can only show photos of some species to our children (because we consume them). When they're all sold out, there won't be a day when we can just show their photos. Because on that day we will also be exhausted. Thinking that one can survive by consuming nature is a human-specific method of committing suicide step by step. "That's exactly why, in this exhibition called "Harmony", I hope to draw attention to this harmony while you watch the portraits of African nature and people living in different parts of the region."

The exhibition called HARMONİ, which will open its doors to the audience on April 12 in the Maximum Uniq Hall Foyer area, by Süha Derbent, whose photographs are sold on Getty Images, who has published books called "The Wild Side of KENYA" and "Face to Face" and whose travel articles have hundreds of pages in many local and foreign newspapers and magazines, can be visited until May 19, 2023.

Don't miss this very special exhibition that will take you on a journey to the African world.
