This year, the exhibition received 113 applications and selected 66 unique artworks from 46 artists, representing a wide range of artistic expressions, from traditional arts to digital art, photography and handcraft projects.

Collective undertakings such as this exhibition play an important role in making art accessible to a wider audience and platforming artists while stoking community interaction, dialogue and unity. The exhibition was curated by a distinguished jury of seven members: Turkey’s Consul General in London Bekir Utku Atahan, Yunus Emre Institute London Director Mehmet Karakuş, Ali Haydar Yeşilyurt, Cevdet Akman, Nagihan Seymour, Nilay Işlek, and Rümeysa Memiş.
