Dialogues
Focusing on a selection of recent projects, including Ortalık (2026), presented at the II. Korkut Sonic Arts Triennale in Almaty, Kazakhstan, this talk explores the dialogues that emerge throughout the development and realization of artistic works. It reflects on different forms of exchange, collaboration, and negotiation with people, places, and contexts, and how these encounters inform and transform the works.
