To coincide with 100th Year commemorations of the ANZAC landing in Gallipoli, Australian Creative Exchange has organised this exhibition, War and Peace, which instigates a dialogue between artists from Turkey, New Zealand and Australia.

There were also more than 80,000 Turkish casualties in this war, and we are honoured to have distinguished artists from Hacettepe University in Ankara join with us in this exhibition. With peace comes an opportunity not only to enhance our understanding of each other’s culture and lifestyle through the medium of art, but also for the Gold Coast community to experience the cultural diversity this exhibition will bring.
