Zahit Mungan first fell in love with kites when he was a young boy of five. Now 28, he gives workshops and constructs elaborate kites that bring joy to young and old alike
Zahit Mungan, the 28-year-old kitemaker from Mardin, has been fascinated with kites since he was five years old. “Mardin is a city where people fly kites all the time,” he tells TRT World in an email. “You will see a kite in the sky no matter what season it is.”
“I represent my country at kite festivals all around the world,” Mungan muses. “I have also set up kites with cell phones and cameras before the current technology [eg drones] existed to take aerial photos, to take pictures of my biggest inspiration, the Mardin skies.” Mungan says he is inspired every day to go beyond his own designs to create works of art. “I want people to be amazed, for children to be overjoyed, for kite culture to flourish and not disappear, that’s my aim,” he adds.
