Hosted by Mastercard, Beyoğlu's literary heritage was remembered

At the gathering organized by Mastercard at Adahan DeCamondo Pera, Istanbul's literary and cultural heritage was remembered alongside the lives of writers, the stories of places, and forgotten encounters.

At the gathering organized by Mastercard at Adahan DeCamondo Pera, the literary journey that began with the Ottoman heritage of the Kamondo House, one of the prominent families in Istanbul's history, extended to İlhan Berk, Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, Mina Urgan, Tiraje Dikmen, Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, and Orhan Veli Kanık. Abidin Dino's testimonies at the Kamondo House, the Port exhibitions—one of the significant encounters in art history—and Bosphorus views featured in Turkish poetry and stories drew attention to the period's art production and the lesser-known stops of the city. The closing of the event took place at Abidin Dino's workshop in Galata, accompanied by the Istanbul view that he witnessed and transferred to his lines.
