How can performance practice function as a lens for exposing, questioning, and intervening in the social, political, and cultural structures that produce reality?
Artist talk with Onur Tayranoğlu
at 10–11.30 on Zoom (request link via )
*
Onur Tayranoğlu is a transdisciplinary artist whose practice investigates performativity within social, political, and cultural realities through site-situation specific performances and embodied research processes. They often work with various modes of
documentation, using them both as raw artistic material and as a method for tracing the porous borders between lived experience and performance.
Onur has presented their work in the field of contemporary arts both as solo and in group exhibitions, performance programs, and festivals internationally. Some notable showcases are Finnish Museum of Photography (FI, 2025), Tromsø Center for Contemporary Art (NO, 2025), Performistanbul (TR, 2024), MUU Contemporary Art Center (FI, 2023), Grey Space in the Middle (NL, 2023), MadHouse Helsinki (FI, 2022).

The photograph is being adjusted within a cropping tool on a computer screen, surrounded by a sidebar of numbered menu items in Turkish, related to education and personal information. The overall shot has the slight pixelation and cool-toned tint typical of a photo taken of a physical monitor.]
