MERAL Agar é artista plástica e fotógrafa. Nasceu em Sarikamis, Kars, na Turquia. Diz que a vida conturbada e a riqueza histórica da cidade de Istambul, onde atualmente vive, a influenciam muito. Não conhece nada sobre o Porto, mas acredita que sejamos um povo muito apaixonado e com uma história recheada de acontecimentos. E acredita bem!
