Banu Çiçek Tülü (Adana/Turkey) finds herself between music, sound art installations and research, using music production and DJing as an artistic tool for activism. She has been invited to share her installations and exhibitions all over Europe, the US and Africa. Her work uses multi-channel video, analog synthesis, light, field recordings, sculpture, large textile installations and weaving to explore feminist and queer sonic methodologies where the female migrant body is present. She believes in the political possibility of sound and music, which she utilizes as an empowerment tool for minority groups with an emphasis on BIPOC* and LGBTQI+ communities. Between 2018-2021, she was a lecturer at the Humboldt University in Berlin, and is currently teaching at the Sound Studies and Sonic Acts MA program at Berlin Arts University and has a guest lecturer position in College of the Arts, Music Department in Windhoek, Namibia.   Banu has played renowned Berlin clubs such as Berghain, aboutblank, and Tresor, along with touring major European and African venues like Bassiani Tbilisi and Modular Cape Town. Banu’s work has been awarded one of the Top Albums of 2022 by DJ Mag and received critical acclaim from other publications such as Clot Magazine. She has won numerous fellowships for her work, including a residency for young music producers in Namibia called Electric Desert. She is also a resident at Refuge Worldwide Radio in Berlin. https://www.banucicektulu.com/ Photo: George Nebieridze
