Bringing art together with Istanbul’s historic fabric, Akaretler continues to host a fantastic group exhibition in these final weeks of summer. EArt Gallery’s now-traditional summer exhibition, “Summer Edition Vol. V,” has been inviting visitors to a polyphonic and layered visual feast since July 9. Bringing together works by Büşra Akman, Candan İşcan, Dilara Pak, Mehmet Ali Yıldız, Sema Maşkılı, Serenay Gülyağcı, and Sümeyye Gül, this special selection unfortunately has only a few days left before it wraps up. If you haven’t yet experienced the exhibition, which will close its doors on August 15, 2026, we suggest planning your trip to Akaretler right away!
The curation that welcomes you upon stepping into the exhibition space is completely free from forced common themes or artificial quests for aesthetic unity. “Summer Edition Vol. V” derives its power precisely from this freedom and from each artist’s ability to preserve their own authentic creative language. Framing the juxtaposition of different approaches and techniques as a dynamic meeting ground, the exhibition allows brand-new layers of meaning to emerge through the “neighborly connections” established within the space while each artwork moves along its own path.
Treating togetherness not through superficial resemblance, but on the contrary, as a platform where differences remain generously visible, the selection skillfully brings together works that diverge in material, form, and approach. Built without interfering with the individual narratives of the artworks, this exhibition layout offers viewers a rich space of interpretation to evaluate various artistic practices simultaneously. These distinct voices—which maintain an extraordinary rhythm when brought side by side—offer art lovers an inspiring collective experience in these final days of summer.
Don’t miss “Summer Edition Vol. V,” ending on August 15, and experience it firsthand in the beautiful atmosphere of Akaretler!
