Turkey’s Antakya turns to art to heal two years after deadly earthquake


Antakya (Turkey) (AFP) – Two years on from a deadly earthquake that claimed more than 53,000 lives in Turkey’s southeast, the worst-hit city of Antakya has turned to art as a means of recovery. For many local artists, the quake now informs their work, which in turn helps them process the tragedy. “I dedicated myself to art to heal,” says mosaic artist Eser Mansuroglu.
