The Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye organized an international photography competition for the second time in 2018 in order to contribute to the cultural and artistic life of our country.
As a result of the competition held with the theme of "Economy and Craft", fourteen photographs were deemed worthy of receiving awards and sixty photographs were deemed worthy of being exhibited. The selected photographs will be exhibited at Ankara CerModern Arts Center between 7-27 February 2019.
With the theme of "economy and craft", the competition not only invites us to re-evaluate the ties of craft with the economic production sector, but also aims to make us think about the value of craft, which is one of the cultural denominators for societies that are globalizing and therefore losing their differences and becoming more and more similar to each other.
The international photography competition themed "Economy and Craft", in which more than 2,500 artists from 74 countries participated with approximately 9000 photographs, concluded in November.
The exhibition brings together 74 photographs from Turkey, Vietnam, People's Republic of China, India, Bangladesh, Iran, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Myanmar, Iraq and Indonesia.
