About

Part of the official Southwark Design District 23’ programme for London Design Festival 2023. Southwark Design District celebrates local designers, makers & creators who live, work & play in the area through a diverse range of happenings.

Dilara Koselioren is a Turkish artist, currently living in London. Her artwork reflects on human emotion, focusing on how daily interactions and different socio-economic and cultural differences, and the areas that we live in affect our daily lives.

Coexistence is a graphic and digital art exhibition which represents building empathy for society that lives together from different socioeconomic backgrounds. The exhibition aims to bring both sides together with art and shows of how emotions belong to everyone, and not every feeling needs to be expressed by words. Dilara Koselioren “Coexistence” exhibition will express her own view at society and coexistence.

“My whole art career way before I studied or started my art career professionally my intentions was always to represent things that words can't. Feeling united when you may feel you don't belong to, feeling connected with society. Living in megacities with millions even though only meters away from each other there is a lot of wall both physically and emotionally. I will show daily life emotions and how living in London affects us in so many ways and my emotional connection to the London lifestyle as well hoping people who visit will find something in my art to connect as well.”
