“I have never felt that I belonged to the East throughout my life. One day, when I started ceramics, I saw that all the images that overflowed out of me reflected the colours, forms and symbols of the land where I was born and raised, not the taste, philosophy and form of the western society I admired.

I was a prisoner of Ottoman tulips, carnations and willows, Kütahya green, tile red and especially Mediterranean turquoise… I was Byzantium, Istanbul and Anatolia from head to toe, it turns out!” ( Füreya Koral )

I visited the ceramic exhibition of Füreya Koral (1910-1997) at the Maçka Art Gallery on 3 October 2023 in Istanbul. I had the opportunity to follow the journey of the artist’s sensibility with full of discoveries step by step over time. The most important of these discoveries was revealed by Mrs. Füreya in her own words as above.

You will also be able to see a few ceramic sketches that I was able to photograph. The critical points in her life story are that her father was Mehmet Emin Koral, one of the leading commanders of our War of Independence, Atatürk’s visits to their house in Elmadağ, Istanbul, and the British occupation forces seized the house during the occupation of Istanbul and turned it into the mansion of the British commander.

Mrs. Füreya was initially influenced by western culture, then by the Mayan and Aztec cultures of South America and finally by the colourfulness of our own culture. Here, we can see the universal dimension of art from all aspects.

I am also grateful for the hospitality of Mrs Didem Çapa and the invitation of my friend Mr Salim Zaimoğlu.

Yes, ceramics is a universal branch of art that is extremely fertile in terms of expressing the colours and people encountered by Turks travelling tens of thousands of kilometres around the world. It also overlaps with us Turks.

We also hope that ceramic art applications, which were once encountered at the entrances of buildings, will be resumed.

Maçka sanat galerisindeki Füreya Koral (1910-1997) seramik sergisini 3 Ekim 2023 tarihinde açılışında gezdim. Sanatçı duyarlılığının zaman içerisindeki keşiflerle dolu yolculuğunu adım adım izleme imkanı bulabildim. Bu keşiflerden en önemlisini Füreya hanım kendi cümleleriyle ortaya koymuşlar.

Fotoğraflarını çekebildiğim birkaç seramik eskizini de görebileceksiniz. Yaşam öyküsündeki kritik noktalar babasının Kurtuluş Savaşı’mızın önde gelen komutanlarından Mehmet Emin Koral olması, Atatürk’ün İstanbul  Elmadağ’daki evlerini ziyarete gelişleri ve İstanbul’un işgali esnasında İngiliz işgal kuvvetlerinin eve el koyarak İngiliz komutanın malikanesi haline getirmeleri ilgimi çekti.

Füreya hanım başlangıçta batı kültüründen etkilenmenin ardından güney Amerika’nın Maya ve Aztek kültürlerinden ve nihayetinde kendi kültürümüzün renkliliğinden etkileniyor. Burada sanatın evrensel boyutunu da tüm yönlerden görebilmiş oluyoruz.

Didem Çapa hanımefendinin evsahipliği, dostum Salim Zaimoğlu Bey’in daveti için de ayrıca müteşekkirim.

Evet seramik, dünyada onbinlerce kilometre yol kat eden Türklerin bu yollarda rastladıkları renkleri ve insanları sanatsal yönlerden ifade edebilmek açısından son derece münbit ve açılımlar sağlayan evrensel bir sanat dalı. Biz Türklerle de çok örtüşüyor. Bir dönem yapıların girişlerinde rastlanılan seramik sanat uygulamalarına yeniden başlanması temennisiyle.

Kültürün değerinin halk ile birlikte yükseltilmesidir esas olan. Ülkemizde kurucu Atatürk tarafından Cumhuriyetin temelinde yer aldığı ifade edilen kültür dar alanlara sıkışmış ve halka mal olmamış bir durumdadır. Kültür merkezleri temel yapılardır. Kültürün temellere inebilmesi için kapalı alanlardan çıkarak açık alanlara taşınması gereklidir. Dört duvarlarla kapalı alanlar iletişimi sınırlamaktadır.

Açık alanların getirdiği enerji ve halkın tüm kesimlerinin genci yaşlı işçisi emeklisi yazarları kültür insanlarının sanatçıların tümünün katılımıyla gerçekleştirilecek açık havada bahar ve yaz aylarında gerçekleştirilecek Kültür festivali, edebiyat festivali gibi etkinlikler yerel halkı bir araya getirerek, tüm kesimleri bir araya getirerek birleştirecektir.

Nasıl ki kültür kelimesinin temelinde yer alan tarım açık alanlarda yapılmakta ise, aynı şekilde açık alanlarda gerçekleştirilecek kültürel faaliyetlerde halkın enerjisinin yaratacağı iletişim gücü ve oksijenli ortamlarım getireceği yoğun düşünme gücü sayesinde ülkemiz büyük bir devrimi gerçekleştirecektir.

İlham aldığımız örnek Hindistan‘ın Jaipur kentinde 2006 yılından bu yana 15 yılı aşkın süredir gerçekleştirilen Jaipur edebiyat festivalidir ve bu festivale dünyanın dört bir yanından da turistler insanlar kültür insanları sanat insanları gelmektedir, çünkü Jaipur aynı zamanda turistik Hindistan‘ın en turistik bölgesidir. Ülkemizde bu manadaki turistik mekanlar ise Hindistan‘dan kat kat fazladır.

Bu alanların, turistik merkez alanlarının kültür bahçeleri ile şenlendirilmesi, bu şekilde kültürün halk ile birlikte paylaşılması ülkemizde kültürel eserler üretimini ve düşünce gücünün kalite ve değerini yükseklere çıkaracaktır. Sağlık alanında merkezi randevu sistemi ve Acil Servis uygulamaları ile sağlanan hizmetlerin halka yaygınlaştırılması uygulaması ise bu kez kültür alanında gerçekleştirilecektir. Nasıl ki sağlık hizmetlerinin merkezinde hastaneler yer almakta ise kültür hizmetlerinin merkezinde yer alacak olan ise açık ve doğal alanlardaki kültür bahçeleri olacaktır.

Önemli olan kültür için gerekli etkileşim ortam ve mekanlarının yaratılmasıdır. Söz konusu yoğun etkileşimlerde esas olan, ihtiyaç olan bu enerji de insanların bir araya gelişlerinin, her kesimden insanların bir araya gelişlerinin yarattığı bir doğal enerji ve canlılıktır. Kültür faaliyetlerinin sadece belli kesimlerle sınırlandırılması, ayrıca kültür insanlarını da halkın enerjisinden mahrum bırakmaktadır bu mahrumiyetin kaldırılması gerekmektedir.

Türk kültürünün en önemli unsuru olan Türk dili sözlü yapıda olduğu için halk tarafından yaratılmıştır. Burada özellikle türküler bu kültürün ana taşıyıcılarıdır. Kültürün içinden halkı çıkartıp kültürü yaratanlar arasından halkı çıkartıp onun yerine sadece aydın ve entelektüelleri kültür yaratıcısı olarak değerlendirmek neticesinde bugünlere gelinmiş ve kültürümüz kısırlaşmıştır. Bu kısırlığı aşmanın en önemli yolu 15 yıldır Hindistan‘da Jaipur bedelsiz edebiyat festivalinde olduğu gibi halkı kültür yaratıcılarının içerisine çekmek ve bu şekilde kültürü yeniden üretmektir.

Türkiye’de halk zaten bu konularda çekingendir kendisine sorulmayınca zaten konuşmamaktadır, kültürün ana yaratıcısı olduğu halde oyun dışıdır. “Balık suda yaşar” misali kültür de halkın sesi, sözü, nefesi olmadan yaratılamayacaktır. Yaratılan ise bir öykünmedir, taklittir. Türkiye’de üretilen eserlerin %70-80’i tercümedir, telif eserler değildir, çünkü telif eser yaratabilmek için halk kaynağından beslenmek, halk ile etkileşim ve iletişim içinde bulunmak gerekmektedir. Bu geleneğin en kestirme yolu Kültür Bahçelerinde gerçekleştirilecek etkinliklerdir, bu anlamda Yeni Delhi Kültür Müşavirliğimiz kanalıyla Jaipur Edebiyat Festivali konusunda edinilecek bilgiler ve belgeler son derece yararlı olacaktır.

Kültürü Halk ile Birlikte Çoğaltmak

Jaipur Edebiyat Festivali yıllardır açık alanlarda düzenleniyormuş. İzliyorum. İnsan başka insanlarla var olabiliyor. Bu duyguyu edebiyatla yaşatmaları ne güzel. İmrendim açıkçası. Edebiyat bir festivaldir. İçe yönelen dışa da açılmalı.

Halka dönük olmalı, halk işin içinde olmalı

Jaipur ayrıca ülkenin her yerinden yazarların ve edebiyat severlerin katıldığı dünyanın en büyük ücretsiz edebiyat festivali olan Jaipur Edebiyat Festivali ile ünlüdür.

Halk kalabalığını görüyor musunuz. Yaşlı genç öğrenci hepsi içiçe.

81 ilde Kültür Bahçeleri.

Yûnus Emre Dîvânı 117.1

Sûfîyem halk içinde tesbîh elümden gitmez

Dilüm ma’rifet söyler gönlüm hîç kabûl itmez

103 yazıtta en çok kullanılan kelime:  Budun (Halk).

Deha Halktadır (Ziya Gökalp)

Bir iklimin manzarası, mimarisi ve halkı arasında halis ve tam bir ahenk varsa, orada, gözlere bir vatan tablosu görünür. Yahya Kemal Beyatlı

Halk; ilham kaynağımızdır. Halk ve Hak kavramları içiçedir. Hakkın sesidir; Halk Vicdandır. Yıkılmazdır.

Ziya Gökalp’in keşfettiği deha ve halk ilişkisi, artık bizlere çok uzak. Fakat yine de Ziya Gökalp felsefecilere halk kavramı için bir giriş kapısı aralamış. Bu tarafı sevindirici.

Düşünce hayatımızın türküler boyutu memur değil halk temelinde..

Türklerde ilk kez Tonyukuk Yazıtında (MS.720) dile getirilen “Budun da Budun boldı” (Halk da halk oldu)  tabiri ise halkın nasıl da olması gereken yere yükseltildiğinin ilk örneğini göstermekte idi. Türkler ıssız ve susuz bozkırların biçimlendirdiği zorlu hayat şartlarında yaşadıklarını, meydana getirdiklerini (kültür, dil, devletler. vb) hep bir insani dayanışma mücadelesi ile ortaya koydular.  Türklerin Yaratılış Destanı ve Oğuz Kağan Destanında da aslolan tüm evrensel gerçekliği ile İnsan idi.

Halk tarafından bilge sıfatı ile onurlandırılan Tonyukuk, ilk yazılı eserimizi bir anıt şeklinde sonsuzluğa ulaştırarak, bilgeliğin gereğinin yazı ve dil olduğunu göstermiştir.

Halk tarafından bilge sıfatı ile onurlandırılan Tonyukuk, ilk yazılı eserimizi bir anıt şeklinde sonsuzluğa ulaştırarak, bilgeliğin gereğinin yazı ve dil olduğunu göstermiştir. İlk yazarımız olan Tonyukuk’un aynı zamanda ilk Türk tabirini yazıtında kullanan kişi de olması, kimliğinin en önemli boyutunun dil olduğunu da belgelemektedir.

Bilgili kişi bilgiç de olabilir bilge de. Sadece bilgi tek başına yeterli değildir demek. İlk yazarımızı, dönemin Türk halkı bilge olarak onurlandırmıştır.  Yazmak bir bilgeliktir. Bilgelik ise bir güçtür ve Türk aklının özünü oluşturmuştur. Aklımızın kendine özgülüğü ise dilimizin özgünlüğünün geliştirilmesi ile ilgilidir. Fikir ve İş ancak Dil üzerinde temellenmektedir.

JLF Londra Hakkında

Jaipur Edebiyat Festivali‘nin yapımcısı Teamwork Arts, kitapları, yaratıcılığı, diyaloğu, çeşitliliği ve çeşitli entelektüel söylemleri kutlamak için 24-26 Eylül 2021 tarihleri ​​arasında sekizinci yılında British Library’de JLF London’ı sunuyor.

Pembe Jaipur Şehri’nde her yıl düzenlenen beş günlük Jaipur Edebiyat Festivali, okumalar, dinamik tartışmalar ve münazaraların zemininde bir renk, enerji, fikir ve müzik isyanıdır.

Bu Eylül, Teamwork Arts ve British Library, bir dizi fikri kapsayan hem fiziksel hem de sanal platformlarda sınırsız entelektüel ve edebi söylem olanaklarını keşfedecek olan JLF London’ı British Library’de sunuyor.

Her şey her zamanki gibi olacak – dostluk, fikir kervanı ve konuşmaların büyülü akışı.

Yazarlar ve düşünürler, şairler, baladçılar ve öykücülerden oluşan bir kervan olarak, her yere yayılan kapsayıcılık ve topluluk duygusuyla Festival ruhu bir kez daha Londra’nın kalbinde olacak ve Güney Asya’nın eşsiz çok dilli edebi mirasını British Library’de canlandıracak.

Geçen yıl British Library’nin sanal sahnesi, kadınlık, azınlıklar, Budizm, Bölünme, viroloji, distopya, Bollywood, kurgu-yazım ve tarih konulu oturumlarla üç gün boyunca heyecan ve hazırlıkla doluydu. Konuşmacılar Bernardine Evaristo, Vidya Balan, Avi Shlaim, Christina Lamb, John Lanchester, Nikesh Shukla, Anne Waldman, Ajit Lalvani, Ravinder Bhogal, Roger Highfield ve daha birçok kişiden oluşuyordu.

JAİPUR EDEBİYAT FESTİVALİ 2021, ÖZEL OLARAK SEÇİLMİŞ BİR FESTİVAL DENEYİMİYLE YENİ DİJİTAL PARADİGMALARI KUCAKLIYOR

‘Dünyadaki en büyük edebi gösteri’ olarak tanımlanan Jaipur Edebiyat Festivali, görkemli bir fikir şölenidir.

Geçtiğimiz on yılda, yaklaşık 2000 konuşmacıyı ağırlayan ve Hindistan ve dünyanın her yerinden bir milyondan fazla kitap severi ağırlayan küresel bir edebi fenomene dönüştüğünü gördü.

Temel değerlerimiz değişmeden kalıyor: özgür ve adil erişim sunan demokratik, bağlantısız bir platform olarak hizmet etmek.

Festival her yıl dünyanın en büyük yazarları, düşünürleri, yardımseverleri, politikacıları, iş dünyası liderleri, spor insanları ve eğlence sanatçılarının farklı bir karışımını ifade etme ve düşünceli tartışmalara ve diyaloga girme özgürlüğünü savunmak için bir sahnede bir araya getiriyor.

Nisan 2020’de, dünya yıkıcı bir pandeminin dikte ettiği eşi görülmemiş bir karantinaya girerken ve biz giderek dijital bir ortamı benimsemeye başlarken, Teamwork Arts JLF Brave New World’ü başlattı ve ardından Jaipur Edebiyat Festivali KELİMELER KÖPRÜLERDİR, JLF Londra , Adelaide, Colorado, Houston, New York ve Toronto – Nobel Ödüllüler, Man Booker, Pulitzer, JCB, Commonwealth, Sahitya Akademi ve diğer ödül sahiplerini içeren, zamanımızı tanımlayan edebiyat, fikirler ve anlatılar üzerine güçlü dijital sohbetler dizisi. Çünkü kesintisiz bilgi akışının ve ortak kitap sevgisinin, toplulukların Covid-19’un istemeden çizdiği sınırların ötesinde bağlantı kurmasının evrensel yolları olduğuna inanıyoruz.

Geçtiğimiz birkaç ay boyunca, bu çevrimiçi diziler 248’den fazla oturumda 416’ya kadar konuşmacıya ev sahipliği yaptı ve kıtalarda yaklaşık 5 milyon görüntüleme topladı !

27 Milyonluk bir erişim ve 40 milyondan fazla Gösterim ile .
