ONE

ONE Body Ritual, created and facilitated by Nazlı Gürlek Hodder, with the consultation of and coordination by Performistanbul, Istanbul, 2023

Çatalhöyük was the most populous city of the Neolithic period and is today an important archaeological site. Çatalhöyük is thought to have a matriarchal sociological structure. I was a part of the OneBody performance designed by Nazlı Gürlek with eight women. In my performance process, I realised a performance in which I compared the perception of women in Çatalhöyük and my own femininity.
