2025 Annual Gala / American Turkish Society | October 28 2025

In October 28th, I attended the Annual Gala of the American Turkish Society in New York as one of the recipients of the Promising Turks Fund. The event brought together leaders, scholars, artists, and professionals committed to strengthening cultural and intellectual ties between Turkey and the United States. Participating as a grantee was both an honor and an inspiring experience, offering the opportunity to connect with a diverse network of distinguished guests and fellow scholars. The evening highlighted the importance of supporting emerging talent and reinforced my motivation to contribute meaningfully to design, research, and cross-cultural dialogue.
