I don't believe in culture ... I believe in encounters. -- Gilles Deleuze

Kerem Ergener

November 28th - December 7th 2022

Opening Reception: Saturday December 3rd 7 pm

Brotherhood

In this new multimedia installation, the artist shares his multicultural and multireligious environment he witnessed while growing up in Izmir, Turkey.

The streets he grew up in were filled with the noises from different cultures, all welcoming. You could have heard ezan (Islamic call for prayer) and church bells at the same time. The euphony of smells, tastes and sound was all around him. In this installation, you will experience calls from different religions all around you. Persistence, inviting but never demanding.
