Join us on November 18th for a screening of Kim Mihri (Who is Mihri) and a conversation with Director Berna Gencalp and Art Historian/Curator Dr. Ozlem Gulin Dagoglu.
Synopsis: Kim Mihri (Who is Mihri) is the painter Mihri’s untold story. Director Berna decides to trace Mihri’s journey from late Ottoman era Istanbul onward to Rome, Paris, and New York. Mihri, whose image, artistic work, and life story have been unjustly obscured, lost and deformed are revived through interviews and fully animated sequences. Mihri was one of the first arts educators who has focused on women’s arts education.
