"Blind Dates" Opens at Pratt Manhattan Gallery
An exhibition exploring the impact of the Ottoman Empire (1299–1922) on the peoples, places, and cultures that once existed under Ottoman rule opens at Pratt Manhattan Gallery on Friday, November 19.
A public reception will take place on Thursday, November 18, from 6–8 PM, and feature AH-HA by Nina Katchadourian and Ahmet Öğüt.
To create Blind Dates, co-curators Defne Ayas and Neery Melkonian paired artists and non-artists from areas once controlled by the Ottomans, including what is now modern-day Turkey and Armenia, to go on “blind dates.”
The “match-making” created encounters between distanced neighbors and their estranged cultures; the exhibition is based on collaborations stemming from these encounters with “otherness.”
For more on the project, please visit the Pratt Manhattan Gallery or www.blinddatesproject.org.
