History Otherwise
Ahmet Öğüt’s solo exhibition History Otherwise features four artworks created in diverse mediums such as tapestry, mail art, drawings and video. These works offer a “subaltern” view of history and aim to challenge our understanding of the world. Attempting to change the Eurocentric way of looking at history, the art reveals the perspectives of different people and societies.
