Aiming to grow together with its business partners, Diageo Turkey continues its support for culture and arts by standing alongside new talents.

Diageo Turkey is now bringing its support for culture and arts together with the imagination of artists working in the field of contemporary art. The exhibition titled “Converging Waters, Blossoming Hopes,” curated and art-consulted by Sinan Eren Erk, will be open to visitors between September 20 and October 27, 2025, at Hope Alkazar, located in the heart of Istiklal Avenue.

Bringing together creative voices, the exhibition features works by 15 artists shaped around the themes of nature, the city, and hope.

Having supported organizations such as İKSV, Kültür A.Ş., and Arter, as well as various activities in different art disciplines to date, Diageo Turkey took its support for culture and arts a step further this year by preparing its own exhibition. Bahar Uçanlar, General Manager of Diageo Turkey, shares her thoughts on the exhibition:

“Many artists in Turkey are working with great dedication to turn their dreams into reality. We want to support artists at the beginning of their careers in this journey and multiply their hopes, while once again underlining the value we place on experienced artists.”

Sinan Eren Erk, the Curator of the exhibition, explains the conceptual framework as follows:

“During the period of uncertainty and loneliness created by the pandemic, we witnessed the miraculous resilience of nature. As cities fell silent, air pollution decreased, new sprouts bloomed, and animals returned to their habitats. Nature regrew hope even in the most difficult moments. This process reminded us that the city is not just a space we live in, but also a living body reflecting our relationships, bonds, and dreams.

Art, just like nature, demonstrates its resilience; it makes invisible bonds visible and multiplies hope. Coming to life with the works of pioneering artists from different generations and disciplines, ‘Converging Waters, Blossoming Hopes’ draws attention to these invisible bonds that bring us together. It reminds us that, just like waters mingling with one another, art blossoms hope once again.”
