project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What makes us who we are (and what does that mean in our immediate environment; work, culture, relationship, country, family, region)? This is the question I would like to talk about with a variety of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our identity is constantly shifting, depending on our surroundings or the company we are in. We are defined \u2018in the eye of the beholder\u2019. I wanted to explore this line of thinking further \u2013 does \u2018who we are\u2019 tend to be in cohesion with our environment\/culture\/surroundings, or is it pushing boundaries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used questions as a way to break away from assumptions and to have new conversations. In this case, the aim was to understand how we see\/define\/understand our own identity. Our answers also provided a reflection of the references and vocabulary of the company I was in. I wanted to speak to and pose this question to many different people, and I am e.g. particularly interested in speaking to disabled people, displaced people (such as migrants or refugees), vulnerable people, campaigners and activists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started the first stage and research for this project during a residency in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in September\/October 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

lead artist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

caglar is a london-based digital and video artist as well as curator and arts consultant. his projects have ranged from experimental art films to large scale installations, screenings\/projections and photography. his work is often informed by a concern with the pressure to conform to \u2018norms\u2019, which continue to prevail even in apparently liberal and tolerant societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

research, collaboration and improvisation form the core of caglar\u2019s practice, with the aim of being able to understand a subject matter within its context and creating an artistic response without losing authenticity. he is always interested in exploring the use of (relevant) technology as a creative and access tool. he is committed to exploring and adapting art forms to create an inclusive experience for a varied audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
