Rojda Tuğrul is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose practice concerns the notion of identity in relation to space and time. Her Ph.D. research project seeks to analyse the effects of war on ecological and cultural heritage within the socio-political framework of Kurdish territories. Her work is rooted in the ongoing conflict between the Turkish state and the PKK (Kurdistan Worker’s Party), analysing its substantial influence on ecological habitats. While examining the transformation and deterioration of habitat as a trace of change in society's culture and collective psyche, her work also explores the politics of art, the autonomy of artistic representations, and the power of images. Rojda holds an MSc in Veterinary Studies, and she graduated from Mardin Artuklu University with an MFA.
