Pınar Öğrenci is an artist and filmmaker from Turkey living in Berlin. She has a background in architecture, which informs her poetic and experiential video-based works and installations that accumulate traces of “material culture” related to forced displacement across geographies. Her works are decolonial and feminist readings from the intersections of social, political and anthropological research, everyday practices, and human stories that follow agents of migration. Öğrenci’s works have been exhibited internationally, including documenta fifteen (2022). She has been nominated for the Kunstpreis der Böttcherstraße in Bremen (2022) and her first documentary film Gurbet is a home now won the Special Jury Award of the Documentarist Istanbul Film Festival (2021).
