A special collaboration between the Ara Güler Museum in Istanbul and Qatar Museums, In the Footsteps of Ara Güler will offer a glimpse into the life of the globally acclaimed photographer. Structured as an expansive journey into his career spanning over 70 years, the exhibition will introduce Ara Güler's life, segueing into Istanbul: A Lifelong Study, followed by The Discovery of Sites, spotlighting his archaeological findings across Turkey. A section dedicated to his portraits of leading writers, artists, politicians, philosophers and other notable figures of his time will follow, culminating in a display featuring iconic pieces from the Ara Güler Archives and Research Center and the Qatar Museums’ General Collection. The exhibition concludes with the screening of Hero’s End, a film directed, written and produced by Ara Güler.
Curated by Sheikha Maryam Al Thani and the Ara Güler Museum team, the exhibition of Güler’s photography offers a comprehensive overview of the artist’s work depicting Istanbul's inhabitants, revealing historical landmarks, and immortalizing both through his inquisitive eye.
The Ara Güler Archives and Research Center and the Ara Güler Museum are founded by Doğuş Group.
