Cengiz Tekin at the Arzular, İnanç, Yalnızlık (Desires, Faith, Solitude) exhibition (06/09/2025)


Cengiz Tekin takes part in the group exhibition Arzular, İnanç, Yalnızlık (Desires, Faith, Loneliness) at Rıdvan Kuday Gallery, Diyarbakır. Inspired by Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise trilogy, the exhibition reconsiders human experiences through the intertwined notions of desire, faith, and loneliness. It explores how desires are shaped by power relations, faith operates as a guiding force over body and spirit, and loneliness emerges as a reality born from structural inequalities.

Marking the first step of a planned three-part exhibition series at the gallery, Arzular, İnanç, Yalnızlık brings together works by Sedat Akdoğan, Mahmut Aydın, Mahmut Celayir, Bahattin Eren, Selma Koç, Erkan Özgen, and Cengiz Tekin from September 6 to October 15, 2025.
