Workshops
I offer workshops in two areas: animation and zine-making. The formats range from one-day intensives to six-day programs, and I adapt them to the needs of the group or the institution I collaborate with.
I teach in English, German, and Turkish. Accessibility is a central focus in my practice — both in terms of language and in creating workshops that are approachable for participants with different backgrounds and levels of experience.
Institutions and individuals can book a workshop with me directly. Each workshop is developed in dialogue with the organizers or participants, either based on their theme or on the artistic approaches I bring from my own practice.
