The exhibition opens at 16:00 on 14 November at Galeri FE in Istanbul's Kadıköy district. Moving from impressive city skylines to overlooked street details, it invites visitors to explore the different faces of metropolitan life through the work of the two photographers.

Two ways of looking at the city

Yılmaz Bulut takes a broad view of cities, photographing their architecture, skylines, tall buildings shaped by light and expansive landscapes. Hakan Kürklü takes a closer view, focusing on streets, traces of lived experience on walls, details created by light, and moments of daily life that often go unnoticed.

Drawn from different geographies, these images offer a chance to discover both the grandeur of the metropolis as a whole and the small details that give it its character.

The city's pulse beats for TEGV's children

Combining art with social benefit, all proceeds from exhibition sales will go to TEGV, which works under the vision “A child changes, Turkey develops.” The contribution will support children's access to quality educational opportunities.

Over the years, Bulut and Kürklü have created exhibitions around different themes, using art's unifying power to support children's educational journeys. Urban Pulse once again invites art lovers to contribute to this work. The exhibition can be visited at Galeri FE between 14 and 27 November.

About TEGV

The Educational Volunteers Foundation of Turkey was established on 23 January 1995 by a group of industrialists, executives and academics led by Suna Kıraç, to support the basic education provided by the state. It focuses on free educational support outside school hours for primary-school-age children.

According to the foundation, it has grown into Turkey's most widespread civil society organisation in education. In 2009, the Council of Ministers recognised it among foundations entitled to collect donations without prior permission. TEGV continues to provide educational support at 51 activity locations across 22 provinces: six Education Parks, 24 Learning Units and 21 Firefly mobile units.
