Banu Çiçek Tülü (Adana/Turkey) is a sound artist, music producer and DJ with a background in urban design, based in Berlin/Germany. She develops her ideas and research by using sound as a primary medium and sonic methodologies. Her practice-based artistic approach involves participation, social design, ecology, feminist and queer theory which uses artistic, cultural and political imagination as tools for social change. Her analysis of urban space is mostly related to colonial history, apartheid and orientalism especially in the context of the Middle East and Africa. The process of the artistic production is crucial and it is mostly presented as multi-channel video and sound installations, sculptural elements, textile, various objects, and light.
