📸 The organizers of the 16th International Tourism Cartoon Contest in Turkey have released the official catalogue under the inspiring theme: "Being a Tourist in Istanbul" ✈️ This year’s theme offered artists a wide horizon to reflect on the travel experience, full of human paradoxes, cultural encounters, and humorous visual narratives.
🎨 The catalogue presents a large collection of artworks that take readers on a visual journey into Istanbul’s historic alleys, vibrant bazaars, breathtaking seascapes, and the unique moments where cultures meet. Some cartoons approach the subject with light humor, while others unfold deeper, symbolic layers that highlight the fusion of history and modernity in Turkey.
🧳 What makes this catalog remarkable is how it shifts the focus from tourist sites themselves to the tourist’s own experience: overloaded suitcases, cameras chasing memories, and faces glowing with wonder, in doing so, the catalog celebrates tourism not only as a physical journey but also as an artistic and imaginative adventure.
