This exhibition features a socio-cultural, research photo-journal of architecture, sculpture, paintings, murals, and various cultural highlights of art faculty travels to Turkey. The aim of the show is to introduce the culture of both Istanbul, and Islamic art and architecture, to the MSSU campus and community at large. These photographs have acted as an impetus for the creation of faculty and student artwork from various mediums and processes that will hang alongside these framed and matted digital photographs from a trip to Istanbul. Along with these original works and photographs the exhibition will also feature textiles, ceramics, and book arts brought back from Turkey.
