Şahin Latifeci
Şahin Latifeci was born in 1997 in Diyarbakır. He graduated from the Department of Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Akdeniz University in 2024. Embracing a multidisciplinary approach in his artistic practice, Latifeci produces works focused on deep and multilayered subjects such as memory, stereotypical norms, ecology, and psychology. Memory plays a central role in Latifeci’s works as a fundamental element that shapes the identities of individuals and societies. The artist offers viewers the opportunity to rethink forgotten or suppressed memories by combining traces of the past with contemporary experiences. He has written articles on contemporary art for publications such as ‘Kibele Culture Art’, ‘Mozart Cultures’, and ‘Art Critique’. His works have been exhibited in Brussels, Rome, New Delhi, and Paris. He participated in the 8th International Antalya Kaleiçi Festival with his performance titled “From Beliefs to Images.” He is continuing his master's education at Yıldız Technical University, Faculty of Art and Design. He continues his work in Antalya and Istanbul.
