Story

Since opening the school four years ago, I have worked with lots of talented individuals from all ages, nationalities and cultural backgrounds. I encourage exploring new creative experiences and social exchanges to build confidence and to reduce anxiety through a mix of a ‘Tina’- celebrating and nurturing the artist with a Montessori approach.

The classes, workshops and projects focus on community and social engagements to promote social, cultural exchange and dialogue between individuals and community. The school celebrates and supports cultural diversity from different backgrounds and cultures by fostering belonging and inclusion.

 

A BIG thank to Aysegul Epengin and her team – Southsea Cinema & Arts Centre, My Friendly Plant (MFP) curators Irem and Zeynep, associate artist Samara Said, and MFP’s Young Artists and their team.

This exhibition is curated by MFP’s Foundation Art Students Irem Tuylu and Zeynep Bilge Tuylu through its WEX Programme (WEXPRO).
