BATU BOZOGLU
Batu Bozoglu’s artistic practice is focusing on interactive and participatory artworks within the field of performance art. His works aim to invoke critical discussion on the politics of participation in their form, while investigating trauma and human response in coping and expressing it in their function.
As a continuation of his research on civilian trauma during the World Wars, Batu will present a participatory performance with a custom made game that will be played with the audience, made not to forget, but instead to remember this time. The game is based on his research of Terezin Getto, where arts and crafts played a large role in the struggle for morale.
