The Woolf Arts Archive, a global project devoted to the collection and appreciation of art inspired by the life and works of Virginia Woolf, can now be found online.
Mine Özyurt Kiliç, professor of English at Social Sciences University of Ankara, Turkey, and a member of the International Virginia Woolf Society, conceived of the project and made it a reality with the help of a dedicated team. Team members include Can Akgümüs, Atahan M. Karabīber, and Tugba Canakci.
“WAA is founded with a passion for both literature and all forms of art; thus, we are a diverse team of Woolf enthusiasts and art lovers who believe in the power of creativity to expand and deepen our understanding of literary figures,” according to the site. It
connects artists, scholars, curators, and common readers, offering a space where Woolf’s impact on the arts can be explored, celebrated, and shared.
The site includes an archive of images related to Woolf that is described as being “always in progress,” and a blog. Each image in the archive includes a description and a link to its source.
