Ayhatun Ateshchin, speaking at the opening, said: “We held our first exhibition in the 90s in the Dervish Pasha mansion. Later, there were several more attempts, but the creation process never stopped. I always kept what I did. It seems that this day was the very moment,” describing the exhibition as an “exhibition of gratitude.”
– Ozkurt
In her speech, BRTK Director Meryem Özkurt emphasized the cultural contribution of Ateščyn over the years and her meticulous approach as a curator. Özkurt said: “Like digging a well with a needle, she uncovered many objects stored in the BRTK archives. Thanks to her pedagogical role and artistic vision, she gave the institution direction and content.”
– Bashman
One of the students who took part in the event, Pınar Bashman, said: “Ayhatun-hocha taught us not only ceramics, but also how to think, tolerate and appreciate co-creation.”
The opening of the exhibition was held jointly with Aykhatun Ateshchin’s students aged 7 to 12 years.
The exhibition can be visited until August 6, and all income from it will be donated to the SOS Children’s Village.
