Feeling Mihri Rasim
Istanbul Municipality Awarded 2022 Public Artwork Design Project
“Istanbul women’s gateway to the art of painting...”
Mihri Rasim is the first known Turkish Female Painter in the westernization and modernization process that started with the Tanzimat and gained momentum with the Second Constitutional Monarchy. Later, she became the founder and teacher of İnas Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi for women, that is, the Women’s Academy of Fine Arts, as it is known today.
She struggled for her art with this oppressive attitude throughout her life, in this period when women could not be seen in many places and could not lead a very comfortable life. Mihri, like her name,brigthens up and inspires her surroundings with her steps. This fascinating life story is the main theme of this project, which focuses on understanding her, her art and listening to her.
