Alize Zorlutuna is a queer interdisciplinary artist, writer, and educator whose practice explores relationships to land, culture, and the more-than-human through diasporic ways of knowing. Moving between Tkarón:to and Anatolia throughout their life has shaped an attentiveness to spaces of encounter—where bodies, geographies, and elemental forces meet in processes of negotiation and co-becoming.Working across video, installation, printed matter, performance, and sculpture, Zorlutuna collages mediums, methods, and geographies to think through place, memory, and belonging. Drawing on material culture from the SWANA region (South West Asia and North Africa), their work traces relationships between land and water, mapping waterways that shape embodied geographies of home. 

Zorlutuna has presented work at institutions including the National Museum of Norway (Oslo), Mercer Union Centre for Contemporary Art, Agnes Etherington Art Centre, the Art Gallery of Burlington, Images Festival, Doris McCarthy Gallery, Plug In ICA, InterAccess, VIVO Media Arts Centre, Next Contemporary, Gallery TPW, Varley Art Gallery, XPACE, the Audain Art Museum, Stride Gallery, Access Gallery, The New School: Parsons, Mind Art Core, and Club Cultural Matienzo.
