The opening of a photograph exhibition titled “From the Lens of President Ersin Tatar” was held on Wednesday evening.

Speaking at the opening of the exhibition, President Tatar said that 50 photographs taken by him are being exhibited as a memory.

A photograph exhibition titled “From the Lens of President Ersin Tatar” consisting of the works of the President was opened last night at the Near East University (NEU) İrfan Günsel Congress Center Exhibition Hall.

Speaking before the opening of the exhibition, NEU Rector Tamer Şanlıdağ said that President Tatar values art and artists.
“Art shapes politics by reflecting the emotional and intellectual atmosphere of society. On the other hand, politics also affects art; the understanding of governance and cultural policies shape nature and the development of art,” said Şanlıdağ.

President Ersin Tatar for his part stated that life consists of memories and that the 50 photographs taken from his perspective on display at the 451st exhibition of the NEU Culture and Art Museum captured those memories.

Stating that taking photographs was his hobby, Tatar said that he has taken many photographs throughout his life.

Tatar said that he embodied the beauty and nature of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) by photographing it.
After the President’s speech, the exhibition was opened.
