Selin Davasse

Selin Davasse (b. 1992, Ankara) lives and works in Berlin. Her research-based performance practice repurposes disparate literary and performative techniques to engage with ethics and politics from alternative presents and speculative futures. Composed of narrative and sonic textures, her work condenses systems of thought into intimate feminine expressions; and takes shape as spoken-and-sung performances with participatory, playful and parodic layers forming heterogenous hospitable relations with the audience. Her works have been presented at Rokolectiv Festival, Bucharest (2021); “School of Waters” MEDITERRANEA 19 Young Artists Biennale, San Marino (2021); Volksbühne, Berlin (2020-2021); Slavs and Tatars’ Pickle Bar at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin (2020); “Queer Art, Culture and Politics from Turkey and its Diaspora Symposium” at Goldsmiths College, London (2020); 3hd Festival, Berlin (2018); Schwules Museum, Berlin (2015) among others. She is a member of The Society for Matriarchal World Domination whose collective works are in the collection of Kunstbibliothek der Staatlichen Museen von Berlin (2019) and a recipient of the Centrale Fies Live Works 9 fellowship, Trento (2021–2022). She co-organizes GLASSHOUSE — an artist-run virtual platform for hybrid performance.
