“Art that have fallen into oblivion are reviving.”
Long-standing arts and tastes of Ramadan in Sultanahmet. (Blue Mosque Area)
Istanbul is surrounded by a quite different spiritual atmosphere upon the start of Ramadan month. This holy month, when the feelings of benevolence and brotherhood furter strenghen, will be the stage to an event this year, during which long-lasting arts and tastes are offered to tourists and Istanbullites at Sultanahmet with a different concept created by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.
(.....)
There will be the pavilions of old vocations such as glass making, marbling, chinaware, illumination, carpet weaving, lacework, nacre art and porcelain at the exhibition. Istabulites will have the oppurtunity to see how these arts are performed.
