"Ruha Kopru" - Bridge to the Soul - Artists Consider Rumi

"In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art." - Rumi.

Bridge to the Soul is an intercultural collaborative exhibition featuring the artworks by Turkish and American artists - with the life and poetry of 13th century mystic Rumi serving as inspiration. We invite you to create artwork inspired by Rumi for this unique, transformative and collaborative exhibition.

Bringing together artists from both Turkey and America, the intention for this project is to shift the world's attention toward love.
