Profile

Okyanus Çağrı Çamcı is a visual artist and researcher based in Türkiye. Her practice focuses on identity, memory, and survival, drawing from personal archives to explore familial narratives and queer histories. Okyanus’s art interrogates belonging and resistance, unravelling personal and communal histories through visual storytelling. 

Okyanus has participated in programs such as the Istanbul Biennial Production and Research Programme (2021–2022), the Nesin Mathematics Village Art and Social Justice Programme (2021), and the ALIKEV Young Artist Fund (2024). Her work, including exhibitions like “Resurgence in Fragments” at Depo Istanbul, reimagines family heirlooms and cultural artifacts through a queer perspective. Additionally, her contributions to the 16th Sharjah Biennial emphasise collaboration and collective memory.
