İzzet Keribar's Photos Taken in Korea 70 Years Ago Will Be Exhibited in Seoul

Ambassador Dr. Egemen Bağış announced that the 90-year-old master photographer İzzet Keribar's frames, taken in Korea nearly 70 years ago, will be exhibited at the War Memorial of Korea in Seoul starting November 3, 2026. Bağış also announced the launch of a new project for the five provinces where Keribar has not yet taken photographs.

The photographs taken in 1956 in Korea by Turkey's leading photography artist, 90-year-old İzzet Keribar, during his military service, will begin to be exhibited at the War Memorial of Korea starting November 3, 2026. The exhibition aims to establish an important bond in terms of friendship and cultural diplomacy between Turkey and Korea.

Ambassador Dr. Egemen Bağış discussed the details of a new project during his meeting with İzzet Keribar following the award ceremony organized by KADEM Art. A joint study has been initiated for Keribar, who has shot in over 70 provinces to date, to take photographs in the provinces of Bingöl, Kırıkkale, Siirt, Yozgat, and Şırnak, where he has not yet turned his lens.
