For Istanbul Biennale 2019, with Kara Family, Süt Family and Güven Family from Cappadocia.


Booklet ‘Potato Growers – Patates Yetiştiricileri’, containing visually portrayed stories of the three families, launched in a gathering at the Istanbul biennale in September 2019. At this gathering the (urban) art world met with the (rural) potato-grower families where the potatoes they grow have been cooked according to each family’s favourite potato recipe and shared among all the guests. Focusing on the stories of three potato-grower families, this project revealed interconnectedness and a shared rural mindset in rural-urban living
