The Josephine Powell Collection at the Vehbi Koç House
Josephine Powell was the first foreigner to be permitted to travel throughout Turkey after the establishment of the Turkish Republic. She visited Anatolia many times, joined nomadic camps, visited carpet and kilim shops, and took countless photographs. A part of her extensive collection of photographs is housed at ANAMED, Koç University’s Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations in Beyoğlu,. More than 28,000 slides have been archiveed in the Suna Kıraç Library. Many have been digitized and made accessible to the public.
This exhibition displays kilims from the collection, tools used in kilim weaving, storage bags, and a weaving loom.
