Güneş Terkol (b. 1981, Ankara) graduated from the Painting Department in the Faculty of Fine Arts at Mimar Sinan University. Afterwards, she received a master’s degree from the Art and Design Department at Yıldız Technical University, and she completed her pedagogical formation at Mimar Sinan University (2018). Using fabric, sewing, sound and drawing, the artist delves into issues surrounding gender in her body of work. Terkol believes in the great importance of collective work and coming together with a common goal. She has therefore produced collective works in different countries and cities that depart from everyday realities and imaginaries. Since 2005, the artist has produced works individually, as well as with the art collective Ha Za Vu Zu. She has been working with the women’s artist collective Alaca Heyheyler since 2017, and she continues to perform in her music group GuGuOu.
