Rag doll

A woman who makes dolls of female heroes from Anatolia has added Halide Edip Adıvar, one of the important figures of the War of the Independence, to her collection for the 100th anniversary of the foundation of modern Türkiye.

Rahmi M. Koç Museum is hosting the "Dolls" exhibition, which sheds light on the journey of dolls, the most important milestones of the toy industry from the ancient ages to the present.

High school students in the Black Sea province of Samsun turn old items into rag dolls and bags within the scope of the Zero Waste Project.

The students make their own belongings by turning old socks, clothes and fabrics into cloth bags with cloth dolls as an alternative to plastic toys and dolls in the visual arts lesson with the support of the school administration.

Some 50 women are making dolls of the "real women heroes," such as a Hittite queen and a Turkish astrophysicist, as part of a project which aims at both generating money to fund to help girls with their education and inspire them.
