Nov 2017

Mathilde Melek An is a French-Turkish artist, translator, and media fixer whose multimedia art practice is deeply shaped by the dynamic interplay of her cultural identities between Normandy (FR) and Istanbul (TR). Her work explores themes of memory, identity, and multiculturalism through a blend of performance, immersive installations, and collective collaborations.

An has been involved with the Mahalla Festival since 2018, contributing to collective and performative projects across several editions, including Generating New Narratives (2018), Murmuration (2021), and Memento (2024). Her work invites audiences to explore themes of mobility, transition, and cultural transformation. More recently, An has taken on a larger role within the festival by co-curating alongside artistic director Sabine Küper-Büsch. This collaboration also includes her participation in a Creative Europe program supporting emerging curators, further strengthening her connection to the festival’s dynamic artistic community.
