Semiha and Nâzım: A Reading of Letters with Yetkin Dikinciler

Tuesday, June 23, 2026, 19.00
Istanbul Modern Temporary Exhibition Gallery

Organized in parallel with the exhibition “Semiha Berksoy: Aria of All Colors,” the event brings to life a selection of letters tracing the years-long friendship between Semiha Berksoy and Nâzım Hikmet through the interpretation of Yetkin Dikinciler.

The letters between Semiha Berksoy and Nâzım Hikmet trace a relationship that began at Dârülbedâyi (Istanbul Municipality Theater) in 1932 and gradually evolved into a profound friendship, revealing both the bond between the two artists and the cultural and emotional atmosphere of an era.

Through Yetkin Dikinciler’s reading, the selection of letters invites visitors into an intimate narrative spanning 87 years, where art, friendship, and memory intertwine across time.

The event is held in Turkish.
The event is ticketed and capacity is limited.
