Ece Nada is an artist, curator, and researcher. She embarked on her journey as an artist toward the end of her bachelor’s degree in English literature. She is currently finalizing her MA in Comparative Literature, specializing in Critical Animal Studies. In recent years, she shifted the focus of her artmaking, curatorial work, and research from humans to nonhuman animals.
She approaches the representation and existence of animals in contemporary visual and textual culture critically. She works on discovering vegan and posthuman narratives and animal ontologies while problematizing anthropocentrism.
