Hello, I'm Yasemin T.

Merhaba! I’m Yasemin — a multidisciplinary artist​,​ community weaver​,​ and eternal migrant moving between New Jersey​/​New York​,​ Berlin​,​ Istanbul​,​ and everywhere in between. My work lives at the intersection of sociology and art​,​ memory and movement​,​ belonging and becoming. Whether through Beats & Bites (a multi-sensory event series on home and identity that I co-founded with my partner)​,​ leading a community zine workshop on "Home" or walking a huge tree across Berlin in a decolonial art residency — I create spaces that connect people​,​ stories​,​ and emotions. I’ve led storytelling projects​,​ curated exhibitions​,​ and facilitated workshops around migration​,​ care​,​ and collective creation. I would like to continue nurturing creative communities across the globe​,​ working towards collective liberation and narrative change through meaningful and intentional community work​,​ and continuing to evolve in my art practice collaborating with other inspiring souls! Right now​,​ I’m freelancing on creative projects — from visual design and workshops to content curation and community-rooted events — and always open to collaborations that center joy​,​ justice​,​ and imagination. You can checkout my website for some of my past works and art background: https://yasemintekgurler.weebly.com/. I'm especially eager to grow Beats&Bites​,​ bringing it to more places around the world​,​ inviting and connecting more artists (DJs​,​ mixologists​,​ culinary artists​,​ designers​,​ photographers​,​ traditional musicians​,​ performers --anyone and everyone!)​,​ and creating a global community around the idea of home and belonging (for details​,​ checkout @beats.x.bites; always happy to collaborate!). Let’s co-dream & co-create! Excited to be part of a community that centers creativity​,​ collaboration​,​ and the artists themselves at the core.
