Nil Yalter : Exile Is a Hard Job

After early paintings influenced by Suprematism, Nil Yalter realised collages and montages, in which she integrated photos, videos and drawings of labourers and migrants. With these works, created in the 1970s, she is considered a pioneer of socially engaged and technically advanced art. Yalter is an artist who places feminist issues and the theme of migration at the centre of her work and is thus of the greatest relevance, especially in this day and age.
