The image features a poster with bold text at the top stating "THE FUTURE FOR TURKISH WOMEN ARTISTS as revealed to the Guerilla Girls". The background is a bright pink shade, and the text is overlaid onto a large image of an upturned cup in a saucer, suggesting the practice of reading coffee grounds, a tradition sometimes associated with fortune-telling. The cup and its grounds have several yellow arrows pointing to different sections, each with accompanying text presenting a prediction or commentary on the status of women artists in Turkey. The left side of the poster reads: "Beware of females from beyond the Bosphorus Over 40% of the artists shown in Istanbul galleries are women... a much better percentage than in Europe or the US. Soon hordes of women artists from abroad will seek refuge here to improve their careers. Male artists will relocate to be better appreciated." "Don’t count on museums, Trust banks instead The Istanbul Museum of Painting and Sculpture has only 17 women hanging in its permanent collection. The Istanbul Modern is just as bad. The Pera did an exhibition, “The Image of Women in Turkish Art,” with only 2 female artists. Your artistic destiny may not rest in a bank... some of their galleries have much better records." On the right side, the text reads: "One Turkish curator will live forever. Others will be exiled The curator with the best record for promoting women artists will be cloned and his duplicates sent all over the world. The curators who forget women when they organize museum exhibitions and biennials will be banished to the US and EU where such backward ideas belong." "Find good fortune in the Navy If you insist on having a museum exhibition, try the Navy. 75% of the artists shown at the Naval Museum Art Gallery have been women." At the bottom right corner of the poster, there is a logo for the "GUERRILLA GIRLS" and their website address "www.guerrillagirls.com". The Guerrilla Girls are a group of anonymous women artists who expose discrimination in the art world and beyond, often using humor and statistics to make their point. This poster critiques the representation and treatment of female artists in Turkey, using the context of an art scene that varies across institutions and platforms.
