Conversation with Silva Bingaz: VAR-d-UHİ

“Your Thursday” Artist Meetings

Istanbul Modern opens its doors free of charge on museum days called “Your Thursday” with the sponsorship of Paribu. Every Thursday, between 10.00 and 14.00, the museum welcomes all its visitors residing in Türkiye with free admission. Visitors can explore all the exhibitions at Istanbul Modern and participate in artist workshops, events, and film screenings held once a month.

“Your Thursday” Artist Meetings include workshop sessions and discussions where artists share their creative processes and artistic experiences with participants. Through these activities, Istanbul Modern invites visitors to discover the museum, artworks, and artistic production processes, while allowing them to enrich their experience by creating together with artists.

Conversation with Silva Bingaz: VAR-d-UHİ

Silva Bingaz, whose works are featured in Istanbul Modern’s “Panorama: Dreams and Places” exhibition, traces the winding paths of visual storytelling in this conversation, drawing on her related series, particularly “Invisible Side of Rose Lady.” Engaging with the multilayered structure of her practice, Bingaz focuses here on the axis of motherhood and “the life of my daughter I do not know,” bringing together different trajectories within a narrative that unfolds like a complex travel diary.
