Melis Boyacı participated in the exhibition with six paintings from the "Urban Discourses" series and expressed the importance of participating in an exhibition on World Art Day led by Turkey and continuing to produce as an artist in the difficult conditions of the pandemic.
Boyacı emphasized the importance of World Art Day and thus the importance of art with the following words of Pablo Neruda: "Those who die slowly, those who do not read, do not listen to music, and do not have tolerance in their conscience". Melis Boyacı is also at Eskişehir Anadolu University between 15-16 April 2021. Melis participated in the AART International Anatolian Art Symposium, which aims to bring together academics, artists, designers, stakeholders, and students working in different fields from our country and abroad with an interdisciplinary approach. Boyacı participated with his work titled "Vital Memory XVII" from the "Vital Memory" series.
She emphasized the importance of participating in the symposium organized in memory of Faruk Atalayer, who was also her teacher and died due to Covid-19. Melis Boyacı participated in the symposium with her paper titled “Perceptions of Reality Reverberated in the Works of Sarah Moris and Piet Mondrian”. Melis Boyacı stated that she shaped her statement as a social being that cannot be separated from the values and perceptions of the period in which she lived, and that she shaped her artistic production as a mirror of the period in which she lived. He stated that he evaluated the art works of Piet Mondrian and Sarah Morris, one of the painters of modernism and the other of post-modernism, how they were shaped by the perceptions of reality of the period in which they lived, and the parallels and differences between them.
