They will contribute to the education of girls with the exhibition

Exhibition titled “Gel Gözüm Gör İstanbul’u” (See the beauty of Istanbul), developed as a social responsibility project, has been opened to access digitally. The aim of the exhibition is to reveal the unprecedented places of Istanbul, to empathize with their surroundings, to combine students' interest and work in a project focus, and to contribute to the education of girls.

Developed as a social responsibility project under the coordination of Asst. Prof. Dr. Radife Akyıldız Ongar from the Department of Radio, Television and Cinema of Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) Faculty of Fine Arts, with the assistants of Res. Asst. Eda Çekemci and Res. Asst. Okan Kırbacı, Exhibition titled “Gel Gözüm Gör İstanbul’u” (See the beauty of Istanbul) was opened digitally.

In addition to the 3rd and 4th grade students of the Radio, Television and Cinema Department, the Istanbul-themed photographs shot by Asst. Prof. Dr. Radife Akyıldız Ongar and Asst. Prof. Dr. Ali Kemal Çipe are featured, and an impressive and aesthetic panorama of the city is presented.

Project coordinator Asst. Prof. Dr. Radife Akyıldız Ongar informed that the photographs in the exhibition will be shared with the Association for Supporting Contemporary Life (ÇYDD) at the end of the exhibition and stated that they set out with the aim of using the proceeds from the sale of more than 70 photographs in the education and activities of girls.

Expressing her happiness and pride for the realization of the project, Ongar concluded her speech as follows:

“It is gratifying that the project, which we started to work on in September 2020, was completed at the end of the six-month working period. In this project, we tried to see Istanbul through the eyes of young people. We had to choose from a large number of photos. I would like to thank all of our 3rd and 4th grade students who contributed to the project and I am proud of each and every one of them. They created original works by working under the conditions allowed by the pandemic period. My students who work devotedly and make film studies also have a special place. Their careful and valuable work has honored us. I wish them to maintain this sensitivity in their future studies. I embrace them all with love.”

Another work in the exhibition, the Istanbul promotional video of Atakan Berkay Güler, a 4th grade student at the Department of Radio, Television and Cinema, can also be watched online.
