Anatolia, the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has been a meeting point for different cultures since the dawn of civilization, where layer upon layer has formed the values of modern Turkey. The exhibition "Imprints and Roots" brings together twelve significant Turkish artists whose works reveal the story of the encounter between Anatolia's millennia-old cultural heritage and contemporary art.
Inspired by the rich history and culture of their homeland, both intellectually and visually, these artists combine traces of Anatolia's past, traditional motifs and symbols with contemporary artistic language and unique forms of expression. Thus, the exhibition takes the viewer on an impressive journey from the past to the present.
The exhibition is organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey and the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Latvia in cooperation with the Latvian National Museum of Art / Art Museum RĪGAS BIRŽA.
