We have celebrated the International Women’s Day at TACAM on March 6, Sunday at 1:30 pm. An exhibition of Ebru Art, all created by the artist Seyra Gündüz Kaya, was enjoyed by all guests. A short interview with Seyra can be seen here:
Nilüfer Esen and Saadet Yılmaz hosted a presentation about problems faced by women in the USA vs. Turkey. Also, continuing with the tradition we have initiated last year, we had a new list of women of our community — particularly those who served in TACAM board at various times — to whom we wanted to express our appreciation:
