The Canakkale Culture Route Festival, organized by Türkiye's Ministry of Culture and Tourism, marked its seventh day with a full lineup of events centered on history, art, and culture.
The "Traditional Canakkale Ceramic Decorations and Postcard Design in Brush Technique Workshop," held at the Anadolu Hamidiye Fort Hangar, brought traditional ceramic art together with a hands-on workshop.
At the same venue, the "Wooden Spoon Making Workshop" introduced participants to wooden spoon making, a craft with deep roots in Turkish handicrafts and culinary culture.
The Canakkale Mehmet Akif Ersoy Provincial Public Library hosted a personal development talk titled "Wise Person." Held with the participation of local author Mustafa Gur, the event explored themes of personal growth and self-awareness through the book "Wise Person."
The short film "Fallen From Olympus" was screened at the Troy Museum. The film, which follows a warrior confronting death during the Trojan War as he speaks with Thanatos, the god of death, about the futility of war, offered a different perspective on the mythological narrative.
The seventh day's program for children included a Guided Museum Tour for Kids. During the tour, held at the Troy Museum with the accompaniment of experts, children took a close look at the history of Troy and the artifacts on display in the museum.
Following the tour, matching and coloring activities were held in the children's activity area. The exploration, which began in the museum setting, continued with creative activities, bringing children together with history and art through an enjoyable experience.
The "Living Heritage: Canakkale Exhibition," open to visitors every day throughout the festival at the Anadolu Hamidiye Fort Hangar, also welcomed art lovers on the seventh day.
The exhibition, which showcases Canakkale's historical and cultural heritage through traditional arts and crafts, featured select works from various artistic disciplines.
Bringing together examples from fields such as tile-making, ceramics, marbling, illumination, felt-making, and calligraphy, the exhibition united knowledge and production culture passed down from the past to the present under one roof.
