Attention was once again drawn towards the international isolation imposed on the Turkish Cypriots at an artistic event in London.
In his exhibition titled ‘earth’ at the British Museum, Turkish Cypriot artist Sumer Erek tries to draw attention to the European Union’s failure to keep its promises to remove the international isolation of the Turkish Cypriot People.
The main piece of art on display-“Ledra’s Portrait” is a reference to the Ledra crossing which geographically divides north and south Nicosia and where the political impact of the isolations is felt strongest.
Mr Erek, materialized his performance with a scenario as if British Museum wants to receive the Ledra Portrait belonging to the near history of North Cyprus.
