Banu Colak

Banu Colak is a Turkish artist, who holds a PhD in Fine Arts, works and lives London and Dubai. She uses translocations to investigate the cultural significance of borders. She looks at how translocations are regulated in different circumstances. In her works home (as both real and ideal), and memories are explored at both micro and macro levels in relation to the household, the nation and the local or transnational community. It views homes as spaces of belonging, as spaces of circulation of cultural patterns and sites of hybrid identities
