Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’s poetry readings at İş Sanat
İş Sanat continues its renowned Literature Series with a deeply moving tribute to Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, one of the most influential literary figures in 20th-century Turkish literature. This extraordinary event celebrates the life and works of the poet, novelist, and literary scholar, offering audiences a heartfelt connection to his timeless artistry.

Four esteemed voice-over artists—Tilbe Saran, Hakan Gerçek, Bülent Emin Yarar, and Metin Belgin—will bring Tanpınar’s evocative poems to life, creating an immersive experience that highlights his poetic mastery and intellectual depth.

Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar was not only a prolific writer but also a cultural visionary, seamlessly bridging literature, academia, and politics. As a Turkish Parliament member from 1944 to 1946, he left an indelible mark on modern Turkish thought, establishing himself as a key figure in the nation’s literary modernism.

Poster Design: A Tribute in Art

For this special event, I Mean It Creative designed a poster that stands as a visual homage to Tanpınar’s legacy. Featuring a handcrafted portrait by celebrated illustrator Emrah Yücel, the poster captures not just the likeness of the poet but also the essence of his creative spirit.

The intricate, hand-drawn quality of the portrait reflects Tanpınar’s depth and complexity, adding a layer of intimacy and reverence to the event’s branding. The design integrates seamlessly into İş Sanat’s Literature Series visual identity, maintaining continuity while honoring a literary icon.

A Unified Cultural Experience

The poster invites audiences to embark on a sensory journey, merging the visual artistry of Emrah Yücel’s illustration with the auditory beauty of Tanpınar’s poetry. This event underscores the transformative power of words and celebrates the richness of Turkish literature in a way that is both timeless and deeply personal.
