Simla Içeli - Neither titled nor untitled (zine & poster)
Simla Iceli works mostly with sculpture, drawing, painting and text, to examine her own personal collections of keepsakes and family archives and to further explore her cultural identity. The artist summarizes her most recent pieces with the phrase "Archive As A Womb"; returning to passed down photographs and relics, Iceli goes through a process of gradually peeling off layers of learnt interpretations about the world, to confront deep-rooted issues with regards to patriarchal structures within contemporary society. Through anthropological investigation of her own memories and past, Iceli opens-up her works to a wider dialectical context in an attempt to relate to audiences sharing similar experiences. During that process, the artist uncovers and points out troubling domestic power-structures, disguised as harmless, ordinary childhood recollections. Interested in sparking purposeful conversation around the subiect of tools of social change for gender equality, Iceli condemns and speaks of the unjust environment she finds herself in, as a young woman.
