At our 540th Art Gathering, we are visiting the studio of artist Vuslat.

Adopting an interdisciplinary art practice, Vuslat's works come to life in various forms such as installation, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics. Her works frequently explore concepts such as trust, interconnectedness, memory, and collective consciousness. Inspired by mythological narratives, nature-culture dynamics, and philosophical discussions, the artist's practice reflects a rich interaction between ideas and materials.

The concept of "trust" offers a profound perspective on values ​​such as trust, care, and protection; it embodies these values ​​as it transforms into practice. These works, in the light of ancient traditions and spiritual practices, serve as a kind of meditation on the act of healing and remembrance. Vuslat, who has been working in the field of art for nearly twenty years, had her first solo exhibition, *Silence*, curated by Chus Martinez, at Pi Artworks Gallery in London in 2022. In June 2023, the artist's first corporate exhibition, titled "Emanet" (The Trust), was hosted by the Baksı Museum in northeastern Türkiye. Curated by Martinez, the exhibition garnered attention from art critics from many countries. In May 2024, her third solo exhibition, curated by Ebru Yetişkin, opened at the MSGSU Tophane-i Amire Five Dome Hall in Istanbul. On May 25th, her second corporate exhibition, curated by Paolo Colombo, opened at the Troy Museum in Çanakkale. As of 2024, the artist is pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Additionally, as of February 2026, she is teaching a semester course to undergraduate and graduate students at Tufts University on her self-developed concept and practice of Generous Listening.
