Ece Nada is a visual artist, curator, and researcher. She embarked on her journey as an artist toward the end of her BA in English Literature. She received formal training in artmaking in Florence, Italy and London, UK. During her MA in Comparative Literature, as part of her thesis, she came up with the storied concept of the exhibition Animal Gaze: curated the group show and participated as one of the artists with her Encounter series. She finished her MA with the thesis “Defamiliarization (Ostranenie) of Other Animals in Literary and Visual Narratives” in 2023. She is currently a PhD Candidate in Interdisciplinary Humanities, specializing in Culture and Aesthetics at Brock University (Canada). After 2020, she shifted the focus of her artmaking, curatorial work, and research toward post-anthropocentric ways of seeing, sensing, thinking and making.
