Event Description

Dear Artists

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who saved our homeland, the Republic of Turkey, and realized the ideal of a free and independent nation, aimed to modernize the new Turkey and directed it towards the ideal of contemporary civilization.

This project is organized in memory of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s arrival in Samsun on May 19, 1919, to launch the National Struggle, and his gifting of this historic day to the Turkish youth. In collaboration with SAYRED (Association of Seven Colors of Art), FOTON Edirne Branch, and Kırklareli Atatürk Anatolian High School, we invite artists from all over the world to celebrate this spirit of independence and youth through the medium of Mail Art.
