“ARTISTANBUL – 3 Women’s Stories” is the collaborative exhibition of photographer Noémie Deveaux, illustrator/storyteller Caroline Gaujour, and art curator Daffa Konate. Running from Friday 9 through Sunday 18 March, opening night starts of at 19:00.
From the organizer:
ARTISTANBUL is the story of 3 French women, with different life paths that brought them to Istanbul. Who are they? How did they come to Istanbul? How did they step into the artistic world?
Come and meet Noémie the photographer, Caroline the illustrator story-teller and Daffa the art curator. They will introduce you to their art, the reasons why they started in that field and their paths. They will show you their artworks and tell you the stories behind each of them.
Noémie Deveaux (Photographer)
Noémie was living and working in France when she had a horse accident in 2011. Out of work for more than 5 months, she understood another kind of life was necessary. So she radically changed her life: she moved to Istanbul in 2013 to become a freelance photographer. She’s now living her dream life here, and creating beautiful everlasting memories thanks to photography.
Caroline Gaujour (Illustrator/Story teller)
Caroline used to work as an agricultural engineer. She lived in Mexico, then in the USA and moved to Istanbul in 2013. This is the beginning of her new career. Having a passion for drawing since her tender age, Caroline decided to make a major career change and since then focuses on illustration. She published her 1st book « My expat life – Destination Istanbul » in 2016.
Daffa Konate (Art Curator)
Daffa was born and raised in Paris. Her parents being Malian and Senegalese, she is strongly attached to her African roots. That’s the reason why she worked for about 10 years for the growth of African countries. When she arrived in Istanbul in 2015, it seemed logic to her to keep on working for that matter, but she wanted to show Africa in a more positive way. That’s how « Kelen », dedicated to promote African Arts, came to life.
