Asli Hatipoglu

Aslı Hatipoğlu (TR/TH/NL) is an interdisciplinary artist whose social practice  focuses on curating participatory dinners and installations that shed light on how culinary history and agricultural politics are changing our relationship to food. *From working with micro-scale bacteria and yeasts responsible in fermentation to insects such as the domesticated silkworm, Asli critically investigates ways of relating to our environment and ourselves. She has been working with the shifting narrative of an artist and a tour-guide, merging fiction and reality with  story-telling in performative acts as a way to critically question today’s systems of production. By engaging people in conversation, she opens dialogue in critical thinking looking at the past and present use of landscapes and their speculative futures. 

Asli deepened her knowledge of fermentation during her residency at the Food Lab Jan van Eyck Academie 2020-2021, along with participating in festivals such as Food Art Film Festival JVE (NL), Taking Root–Food Art Film Festival CCA Glasgow (UK), Foodculture Days Vevey (CH), Japanese Knotweed Festival at Mediamatic (NL), Zamus Theaterhaus Cologne (DE), Bazaar Festival (CZ), Kiemkracht festival Ghent (BE). She has followed an artistic research residency at A.PASS (Advanced performance and scenography studies) in Belgium. Her works have been exhibited and performed in places such as Textiel Museum Tilburg (NL), Villa Filanda Antonini (IT), Nesse Terneuzen (NL), Kunstverein Bielefeld (DE), Lantz’scher park Dusseldorf (DE), Zuiderzee Museum Enkhuizen (NL), Radius CCA Delft (NL), Het Nieuwe Instituut Rotterdam (NL), Jan Van Eyck Academie Maastricht (NL), Kunsthaus NRW Kornelimünster (DE), Kafkarna Prague (CZ), ,Hectolitre Art space Brussels (BE).
