Date: 4 April 2024, Thursday

Location: D Block Multi-Purpose Hall
Dr. Bengü Aydın Dikmen has a PhD in Political Science from Galatasaray University, a Master's in Political Science and International Relations from Boğaziçi University and a BA degree in International Relations and European Union from İzmir University of Economics. As a recipient of the Jean Monnet scholarship, she was a visiting doctoral researcher at the School of Art History and Cultural Policy at University College Dublin for 12 months. Currently working as an instructor at Izmir Institute of Technology, she is continuing to research the history of early Republican Turkish politics, political sociology, environmental politics and global climate governance.
About the book:
In Painting the Revolution, Bengü Aydın Dikmen focuses on the politics of painting during the foundation and construction of the Republic. Besides the intellectual-ideological foundations of the politics of painting, the book examines the understudied subject of artistic patronage. The Early Republican period aimed to spread and "elevate" taste in painting. In doing so, it did not want to succumb to "popular tastes" and distanced itself from "aesthetic modernism" and avant-garde movements such as cubism. Apart from the Revolution Paintings and Exhibitions, which produced portraits of leaders that supported the cult of personality, modern buildings that represented the revolution, and heroic representations that nourished national myths, the project of the Painters' Homeland Tours, in which painters were mobilized to "engrave the revolution", is an interesting experience in itself. What was expected from this project was to create a visual inventory of the homeland through landscape paintings, local customs, figures and historical buildings that revitalized the image of the homeland.
