Turkish Airlines CONNECT photography exhibition
On September 16th, the "CONNECT" exhibition and its stunning picture collection were officially launched by Turkish Airlines, the international carrier that flies to the most nations than any other, and the Consulate General of the Republic of Turkey in New York. The Turkish House, one of Turkey's most important diplomatic missions abroad, hosted the unveiling.
The "CONNECT" exhibition showcases landscape photography from 49 cities and 49 different areas of Turkey, highlighting both undiscovered treasures of Anatolia and offering fresh viewpoints on well-known and recognized locations. The exhibition, which was put together by Serhat Kula, has images taken by one of the new generation of artists' photographers, Murat Daaslan.
The display, which is based on the idea of Pangea, the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago, honors Turkish Airlines' vast connectedness as the international carrier that flies to the most nations.
On the exhibition, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat stated; “In many ways, Türkiye’s history is that of humanity.With countless cultures making their home on this remarkable land, it is apparent to visitors how pivotal a role these lands have played in the development of civilized societies. More than 30 years ago we started flying to the U.S. and Turkish Airlines will be celebrating its 90th anniversary next year. Our mission today, as it was then, is to bridge continents, connect countries and unite communities.”
Present at the event and for a ribbon-cutting ceremony was Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat, Türkiye’s Ambassador to the United States Hasan Murat Mercan, Consul General of Türkiye in New York Reyhan Özgür, and Permanent Representative of Türkiye to the United Nations Ambassador Feridun H.
