We organized the “International Binding Art Gathering” as the series of most comprehensive international events regarding the binding art, an important field among the arts related to the books. As part of 10-day events, we organized a 2-day symposium, three exhibitions, four workshops and the 5th Silver Tulip Award Ceremony at Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall and Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. İslam Seçen won the award at the 5th Silver Tulip Award Ceremony. The events attracted great attention and we compiled their visual and textual contents and published in two volumes, one being the catalogue and other the book of proceedings.
