Deniz Sagdic's 'Sustainable Art' exhibition opens at MUSIAD

Visual artist Deniz Sagdic's highly anticipated exhibition, "Sustainable Art," has opened its doors to visitors. This innovative showcase features Sagdic's signature works, where she breathes new life into discarded materials and everyday objects, transforming them into captivating works of art.

The exhibition is being held in the foyer of the Independent Industrialists and Businesspersons Association (MUSIAD) headquarters.

MUSIAD President Mahmut Asmali highlighted the significance of the exhibition during an interview with an Anadolu Agency correspondent, noting that it was organized as part of MUSIAD's 34th anniversary week activities.

As part of the upcoming program on May 9 where MUSIAD Türkiye's Power of Türkiye Awards will be presented, Asmali mentioned, "In this context, we decided to organize a series of artistic activities," highlighting today's exhibition featuring Deniz Sagdic's creations crafted from industrial waste, emphasizing the theme of sustainability.

Artist Sagdic said she participated in more than a hundred exhibitions in Türkiye and abroad.

Sagdic, who is engaged in social responsibility and social awareness projects, emphasized her efforts to promote sustainability, conservation, and recycling to visitors at the art house.

Emphasizing that MUSIAD is a very special institution with many manufacturers as members and brands that shape production, Sagdic said, "It is very exciting for me that all manufacturers actually support sustainability policies," noting their acknowledgment that even waste from their own products can be transformed into works of art.

The artist elaborated that the exhibition tells the story of manufacturers' defective products combined with what is often considered waste, emphasizing their goal of implementing projects that promote awareness, enhance production quality, and prioritize sustainability in collaboration with MUSIAD.

Inviting viewers to rethink the concept of "consumption," the exhibition features eight works by the artist using more than 30 types of waste, such as electronic circuits, textiles, pharmaceuticals, bags, and lids.

The portraits in the exhibition draw attention to the fact that consumption is a common issue for all humanity.

The exhibition, which inspires nature-friendly sustainable ideas and emphasizes the sustainability of art, will remain open until May 10.
