'Your Body is a Battleground' exhibition highlights societal issues
American conceptual artist and collagist Barbara Kruger's 1985 dated "Your Body is a Battleground" piece, showing a woman’s face, disembodied, split into positive and negative exposures, carried a direct message of freedom for women.
Similarly, the exhibition that carries the same name as Kruger's aphorism, formed by the Agah Uğur Collection, features nearly 50 works by more than 40 artists from Türkiye and the world to shed light on many issues. The exhibition, curated by Mardin-born contemporary artist Halil Altındere, aims to highlight the societal issues of struggle, freedom, borders, migration and memory.
