About

Why this artist matters now

Nil Yalter is a Turkish artist working in video, photography, and installation since the 1970s. Her practice centers on issues of displacement, migration, and cultural identity, often drawing from her own experience as a woman displaced across multiple geographies. She has worked extensively with documentary strategies and archival materials to examine the lived conditions of marginalized communities, particularly in relation to labor, gender, and belonging in urban spaces. Her work combines rigorous conceptual inquiry with a commitment to amplifying overlooked narratives.
