“Sage Within / İçindeki Bilge” presents an inner journey through the streets of Istanbul, captured by photographer Gülüm İmrat. Built around the theme of the Hero’s Journey, the narrative invites visitors to reflect on their own stories through the stations of awakening, transformation, and rebirth. Beyond photography, the exhibition aims for a multi-layered experience with a short film screening and site-specific ambience elements.
