Özlem Avcı

Özlem Avcı is a teacher, artist and DJ. In her sets, she combines traditional folk music, diaspora pop, Anatolian rock and belly dance music - sound spaces between memory, origin and the present. Her work moves between education, art and activism. She has performed at the Thalia Theatre (Lessingtage) and at the House of Namuz - Gazino. In co-operation with initiatives such as Semra Ertan or gwa Kolibri, she sees her artistic practice as an archive of migrant history.
