It is 17 years since Amer last exhibited in Istanbul. This show brings together a selection of her recent bronze sculptures, iconic embroidered paintings, a new series of canvases that highlight appliqué techniques, and paintings on wood. By repositioning traditional techniques such as sewing and embroidery – historically coded as ‘women’s work’ – within the language of contemporary art, Amer opens a powerful visual field in which the female body and sexuality move beyond established social norms and systems of representation.
