The Sabancı University Photography Club (SÜFOK) opens a porthole to the world of the dockyards with the “Dockyards” exhibition at Tomtom Fun Aid
Held by the Sabancı University Photography Club (SÜFOK) with the support of Tomtom Fun Aid, an urban transformation project, the “Dockyards” photography exhibition will be available for visiting from the 23rd of October to the 20th of November.
“Dockyards” approaches the Tuzla dockyards –¬frequently making headlines with work accidents– from an industrial photography perspective. Despite the dockyards’ tendency to keep its doors closed due to work safety and confidentiality issues, the outdoor exhibition at Tomtom Fun Aid, Istanbul’s new center for fun, culture and arts, attempts to answer a few of the questions on everyone’s minds. Photographs captured during active work at the dockyards illustrate the shipbuilding and maintenance industry while revealing the corroded underside of mankind’s seeming dominance over the seas. The exhibition includes portraits of workers in the field, shedding some light on the various aspects of the unknown.
‘Dockyards’ photography exhibition:
Place: Tomtom Fun Aid, Tomtom Mahallesi, Akarsu, Acara, Tosbağa Streets, Galatasaray/Istanbul
Date: October 23rd – November 20th, 2010
Opening Cocktail: Saturday, October 23rd, Tomtom Fun Aid - We* Lounge, 7.30 pm
