Arter kicks off its autumn season with a six-week seminar series, What Do Artworks Tell Us About Nature?, led by artist and academic Zeynep Gürler. Starting on September 30, the program will take place on October 7, 14, 21, November 4, and November 11, 2025, at Arter’s Atelier space at 7:30 PM. Participation is limited, and tickets are available through Mobilet, Biletix, and Arter’s ticket desk.
Organized as part of Arter’s Learning Program, this seminar series explores the unexpected impacts of encountering artworks. It focuses on art’s power to pull individuals out of daily routines and invite them to rethink their connection with nature. Guided by Gürler, the sessions will examine how art has represented nature across different periods, how these representations have shaped perceptions of nature, and how they are reevaluated in the context of the Anthropocene, a defining concept of our time.
Participants will trace the relationship between humans and nature in artworks throughout history while assessing how contemporary art addresses ecology-based approaches. By comparing nature’s representations across various artistic periods, the series aims to shed light on today’s environmental issues. It emphasizes that art is not merely an aesthetic expression but also holds the potential to foster societal and ecological awareness.
Running for six weeks, What Do Artworks Tell Us About Nature? offers a comprehensive platform for audiences eager to explore how art shapes our relationship with nature through individual experiences and collective memory.
