Göksu Kunak (Ankara, 1985) is an artist, researcher, and writer based in Berlin. Their practice explores chronopolitics, hybrid and multilingual texts, and performative languages shaped by non-Western dramaturgies and Arabesk culture. Working across performance, installation, and writing, Kunmak addresses hetero-patriarchal structures, Orientalism, and self-Orientalization through speculative, score-based approaches to the body as simulacrum and sculpture.
In 2025, Kunak received the Akademie der Künste Kunstpreis (Berlin Prize for Art). They have performed and exhibited internationally at venues including Performa Biennial (New York), Neue Nationalgalerie (Berlin), Van Abbe Museum (Eindhoven), De Singel Arts Center (Antwerpen), Kaaitheater (Brussels) and KW Institute for Contemporary Art (Berlin) a.o.
