As Pope Leo prepares to visit Turkey for the 1700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, Mesude Kunen, a master of the region’s famed çini tiles, has created a ceramic map depicting the ancient walls and sacred landmarks of Nicaea. She hopes the Pope will receive it during his stop in the town, though tight security may stand in the way.
Kunen comes from generations of ceramic makers and sees her craft as an inheritance tied to Iznik’s identity. She says the Pope’s visit has lifted the spirits of local artisans and could bring renewed life to a town that has faced slow, difficult years.
