Oğuz Kayır

Oğuz Kayır holds dual B.A. degrees in Film and Media from Istanbul Bilgi University and an M.A. degree in Media and Visual Studies at Bilkent University. His master's thesis mapped out how women's contemporary art practice in the Middle East unsettles the dominant philosophical traditions surrounding female identity and embodiment. Broadly, his current research focuses on how cultural power dynamics aestheticize, historicize, and institutionalize the expanded artistic modalities of feminist artists in Turkey. His work has appeared in MIRAJ and Journal of Visual Culture, among others.
