This thesis explores the migration of Turkish female artists to
other countries as a means of escaping the cultural and
societal constraints that hinder their artistic expression and
career advancement in Turkey through examining the work of
three female Turkish artists: Nevin Aladağ (1972-), Şükran
Moral (1962-), and Esra Gülmen (1986-).

The research explores the driving factors behind their
migration, such as limited prospects for artistic development,
gender-related challenges, and societal restrictions on
creative expression in their home country.

By closely examining the artworks of Gülmen, Moral, and Aladağ,
this thesis explains the emerging themes from their migration
experiences. It analyzes how their art reflects their
exploration of identity, cultural displacement, gender
dynamics, and the fusion of diverse cultural influences.

To summarize, this thesis aims to understand the motivations
and experiences of Turkish female artists as immigrants in
Europe, shedding light on their journeys and artistic
contributions of individuals.
