Multiplier Event in Turkey

The event is designed to bring together a series of disciplines' experts for a dialogue fousing on the scope of ""Folk Art And Culture"" project. The venue of the event was the Rezan Has Museum. The event/ seminar was designed as a meeting  at Rezan Has Museum to talk about the subjects of Daily Life, Art and Design as Cultural Heritage, and to exchange views and experiments.

The seminar titled  ""Daily Life, Art and Design as Cultural Heritage in the Digital Age"". From ancient times to the present, everyday life objects and artistic expression have been an important part of folk art and culture. Daily life helps us decipher human nature and ways of thinking through all the objects, systems and visual culture surrounding us. We are expecting everyone who is interested in the subject to the seminar we organized to reconsider the meaning of design objects and works of art from different time periods of the past, and to discuss approaches to the transfer and preservation of objects in museum collections to new generations, especially today, through digital technologies.

The seminar is organized within the scope of the Folk Art and Culture project supported by Erasmus+ fund and in which Kadir Has University is among the project partners. The project aims to explain to the younger generations the advantages of strengthening folk culture and interacting with this culture, and to develop strategies and experiences by equipping the new generations with the skills necessary for the labor market in the cultural sector.
