Alize Zorlutuna is an interdisciplinary queer artist, writer and educator whose work explores relationships to land, culture and the more-than-human, while thinking through history, ancestral wisdom and healing. Moving between Tkarón:to and Anatolia (present-day Turkey) both physically and culturally throughout their life has informed Alize’s practice—making them attentive to spaces of encounter. Bringing together material practices rooted in Anatolian textiles, ceramics, and marbling, with contemporary mediums, they forge new directions for considering diasporic relationships to place and belonging. Alize enlists poetics and a sensitivity to materials in works that span video, installation, printed matter, performance and sculpture. Conjuring earth, air, water, and spirit, Alize collages mediums, methods, and geographies. The body and its sensorial capacities are central to their work.
