Defending Gallipoli: a Turkish standpoint is about the WWI military campaign at Gallipoli seen from the point of view of Turkish soldiers. The photographs in the exhibition have been sourced from Turkish archives. They are all taken by unknown, amateur photographers from behind the Turkish line of defence, and provide a different perspective on this historic conflict. This exhibition is timed to coincide with the 100 year anniversary of the lead up and landing of Australian troops near Ari Burnu on 25 April 1915.

This project is supported by funding from the Australian Government under the Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program with additional support from:

MAPh acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong People, and recognises their continuing connection to the land and waterways.

We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
