The theme of the exhibition: 15 Temmuz is one of our heroic legends, where our national awareness of democracy is represented by our unique courage, and decisiveness and fighting spirit. The stand that our nation demonstrated has ranked towards the top among our national history, which is filled with heroism. As all the other victories resulted from our martyrs’ and veterans’ struggle, the commemoration of 15 Temmuz Demokrasi Zaferi and its heritage to the next generations will offer a common ground to remember the spirit of the national struggle. This spirit includes patriotism, which is one of our foundational values that is necessary for the future of our civilization.

Our faculty is holding an international mail art exhibition in memory of our martyrs for the anniversary of “15 Temmuz Demokrasi ve Milli Birlik Günü”, under the title “For The Sake Of The Crescent” in order to commemorate all the heroic martyrs with mercy and gratitude, and all the heroism that is manifested in the name of our nation’s and homeland’s indivisible integrity. On that note, our mail art exhibition is open to all artists who will exhibit their art with themes; such as, national unity and solidarity, patriotism, flag, independence, heroism, martyrdom, 15 Temmuz, the national struggle etc.

Aim: To hand down the sacred memory of all our martyrs who protected the belief of independence, the democracy and the national will to the next generations by designs and works of art, and to create a visual recollection.
