Artist and Journalist Zehra Doğan Released from #Turkish Jail After Nearly Three Years. Doğan was imprisoned for propaganda after she depicted a predominately #Kurdish city destroyed by Turkish military forces in a watercolor painting. hyperallergic.com/486421/artist-…
“Art should never be a crime. Doğan is a model of courage for all journalists and artists for standing up against injustice and silence, especially because of her determination to work and create while incarcerated,” @PENamerican #Turkey #ZehraDogan
“While imprisoned, Doğan rigorously continued to work on her paintings using diverse media incl pomegranate shells, tincture of iodine, and bedsheets, despite restricted access to painting materials...she told BBC Turkish that she had never painted as much as she did in prison.”
