Başakşehir Municipality’s City Art Gallery proudly hosts calligrapher Mustafa Cemil Efe’s 14th solo exhibition, “Inshirah.” The showcase features 111 exquisite calligraphy pieces alongside four unique contemporary installations.
A Labor of 2.5 Years
Speaking about the exhibition, Mustafa Cemil Efe shared, “We named the exhibition ‘Inshirah’ to evoke the sense of expansion and inner peace that emerges in people’s hearts and souls when they engage with Quranic verses. This showcase is the result of 2.5 years of dedicated effort, bringing together 111 interconnected works. Visitors can also explore installations prepared with global artistic standards and interdisciplinary approaches.”

Antique Treasures on Display
The exhibition goes beyond calligraphy, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of Islamic art. It includes antique showcases and an array of historical tools used in the craft—quills, ink pots, and papers, many of which belong to Mustafa Cemil Efe.
Experience “Inshirah” Until February 13
Highlighting the profound meaning of the Arabic word “Inshirah,” which signifies “expansion” and “inner peace,” the exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in the harmony of traditional and modern Islamic art. The exhibition will be open to the public until February 13.
