Etel Adnan´s ´Impossible Homecoming´ @ Pera Museum

Pera Museum is bringing art lovers together with the artist, writer, and poet Etel Adnan's exhibition 'Impossible Homecoming' that covers all production periods through her lifespan of nearly a century.

Curated by Serhan Ada and Simone Fattal, the exhibition brings to Istanbul the works of the artist who had been born in Beirut in 1925 to a multi-faith and multi-cultural family; those works that also reflect the traces of this rich identity. Adnan, who has never been indifferent to the wars and political and social events during her life, used two basic communication tools, either writing or painting, and sometimes both of them intertwined, in her works.

The retrospective exhibition brings together the artist's works created in many different mediums such as ceramics, carpets, leporellos, oil paintings, drawings, prints, and video. Etel Adnan's 'Impossible Homecoming' can be visited until August 8th.
