Mural of Guru Rinpoche in Ankara
Ulker Duygu Ergun along with two helpers have recently painted a mural of Guru Rinpoche in a modern art gallery in Ankara. Mustafa Mert Çelebi participated in the installation and answered questions about it at the opening. He wrote:“many people liked artwork asked questions about Guru Rinpoche and we tried to tell them about him. May this be beneficial for all sentient beings and spreading of dharma in Turkey https://www.instagram.com/reel/C97lJZAI6Ze/?igsh= amk5ZHZiaHNyZmJi our artwork is also chosen for this official video of the municipality of Çankaya for this exhibition. The exhibition will be open to visit for one month.”
If some of you are wondering about the two dogs painted in the mural I think it may be in response to this new law which many people are protesting about. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-passes-law-get-stray-dogs-off-streets-into-shelters-2024-07-30/ (Barbara)
