In the organizer's words:

Workshop with Aslı Özçelik

To accompany the exhibition "Vom Rande aus", the artist Aslı Özçelik invites you to a collage workshop on December 13. Based on photographs by Fatih Kurçeren and texts by Esra Canpalat, participants will explore how images and words can be shifted, superimposed and reassembled. Using various photographic prints, tracing paper and printable foils, they create multi-layered collages in which fragments, cut-outs and transparencies play a central role. The participants cut, combine, cover and expand image and text elements. In this way, they develop their own perspectives. The workshop is suitable for anyone who is interested in an intuitive, playful and experimental visual practice.

Aslı Özçelik uses photography, video, sound, textiles and installation to capture intimate moments and empower marginalized voices. Her works are autobiographical and reflect her experiences and socialization as a woman. She has published two photo books with Eigensinn Verlag. In "Sıhhatler olsun", she explores identity and her relationship with her own mother, who came to Germany from Turkey when she was 20. Özçelik has exhibited at the Kunstmuseum Ahlen, Kunstmuseum Celle and Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, among others. She completed her bachelor's degree in photography at the Folkwang University of the Arts in 2024 and began her master's degree there. She lives in Cologne.

The exhibition "Vom Rande aus" (24.10.2025 - 18.1.2026) was created in cooperation with STADT_RAUM im MKK and Interkultur Ruhr/RVR. Funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
