NIL YALTERGreen on Red Gallery presents a solo exhibition by Nil Yalter (born 1938, Cairo, Egypt), a feminist artist, pioneer in the use of video art, who resides between Egypt, Turkey and France since 1965.

Originally born in Egypt, Turkish artist Nil Yalter moved to Paris in 1965, impacting both her own life and the art scene in the city where she continues to reside. She is regarded as a pioneer in the global feminist art movement. She attended Robert College in Istanbul, Turkey and currently lives and works in Paris. Her work, which is included in many collections and museums worldwide, includes photographic, drawing and video installations and performance art. She is the first Turkish female video artist.
