HKUFEST 10th Anniversary Science, Culture and Art Festival Is About to Begin
Hasan Kalyoncu University (HKU) is preparing for a magnificent “Science, Culture and Art Festival” in honour of its 10th anniversary. With only a few days left before the start of the 10th Anniversary HKUFEST, which will run for three days from 9 to 11 May, interest and excitement are clearly running very high.
THREE DAYS OF SPECIAL EVENTS AT THE FESTIVAL
The countdown has begun for the most special programmes of the HKU 10th Anniversary Science, Culture and Art Festival, “HKUFEST”. The first day of the three-day festival will continue throughout the day with a scientific symposium, a painting exhibition, a golf tournament, mind games, a music club concert, a wish lantern festival, and the finals of the football and table tennis competitions.
On the first day, HKU will also hold the opening of the “HKU Culture and Art Centre”. In addition, interior architect Şafak Cak, who has reached the world with his distinctive designs and become a brand in his own right, will hold a special talk with participants on the first day of HKUFEST.
WORLD-FAMOUS PAINTER AHMET GÜNEŞTEKİN AND HIS WORKS AT HKUFEST
An exhibition opening at the festival will display 11 valuable works by the world-famous painter Ahmet Güneştekin. Güneştekin, who will attend the exhibition and the opening of the festival, will talk about various aspects of his works. Art lovers interpret Güneştekin’s works as having colours and forms arranged in symmetrical and asymmetrical compositions, with an aesthetic approach built on contrasts and transitional methods. It is also said that he prefers to read, through these methods, the relationship of imagination and creative dreams with cultures that function as similar symbolic systems.
FAMOUS ARTISTS HANDE YENER AND FETTAH CAN WILL PERFORM AT HKUFEST
At the festival, where a variety of special events will take place, the famous artists Hande Yener and Fettah Can will take the stage to give audiences an enjoyable time. Yener and Can will perform at the HKU Campus to give the enthusiastic crowd unforgettable moments and a pleasant time with their concerts.
The festival will not be limited to concerts; many artistic and sporting events will take place across the HKU Campus. In addition to the various events held on the first day, many more will be organised on the second and third days. The events will include activities such as a spaghetti bridge competition, film screenings, a baklava eating contest and a marbling (ebru) art demonstration. Officials speaking about the concerts announced that the Fettah Can concert will take place on the second day of the festival and the Hande Yener concert on the third day.
