Profile

Akış Ka is a performance artist based in Türkiye. She began her career as a drag queen in 2017, turning her hobby into a professional pursuit by 2020. Known for her dynamic drag performances at Dudakların Cengi and Istanbul LGBTI+ Pride Parties, Akış's work has evolved, particularly during the pandemic. In 2021, she started creating video content on the Alt Cut YouTube channel, gaining recognition for using humor to address political issues.

Her impactful work includes narrating her journey of trans existence in her "HoşGeldin" (Welcome) performance at Salt's '90s On Stage exhibition in 2022. Currently, her projects focus on sharing inspirational trans stories, contributing significantly to the visibility and empowerment of the trans community.
