Speaking at the opening ceremony, Ayse Yorulmaz, director of Vienna YEE, highlighted the institute’s longstanding partnership with ICDO in hosting the annual “Intercultural Long Night” exhibitions.

“We are proud to display the works of distinguished artists from around the world and to provide a platform for emerging talent and art lovers alike,” Yorulmaz stated.

Promoting Turkish culture and global artistic connections

She emphasized YEE’s commitment not only to promoting Turkish culture globally but also to fostering cultural exchange by supporting artists from diverse backgrounds.

“As Türkiye’s official cultural institute, Yunus Emre Institute is dedicated to supporting art and artists worldwide. Our mission extends beyond introducing Turkish culture – we also aim to encourage cultural fusion and mutual understanding between different nations.”

Artists and enthusiasts engage in cross-cultural dialogue

Yorulmaz noted that the exhibition offers a valuable opportunity for artists and art enthusiasts to engage in dialogue, exchange ideas, and explore new perspectives in the world of art.

The exhibition continues to attract international attention, promoting a deeper appreciation of cultural diversity through the universal language of art.
