Mustafa Boga

I am based in the UK and Turkey. I completed my Master’s degree in 2016 from Central Saint Martins in London after studying for an MA in Fine Art. I also obtained another Master’s degree from Greenwich University in London after studying an MA in Cinematography and Post Production. Before that, I achieved a Bachelor’s degree from Istanbul University after studying at the Faculty of Communication and Journalism.

I have won several awards including The Red Mansion Art Prize, which took me to China, where I created a piece of work entitled There He is Without a Proper Diagnosis relating to my different cultural experiences. I was selected to perform at The Royal Academy in conjunction with the Ai Weiwei exhibition and was also selected to attend workshops with Isaac Julian and Mark Nash at the 56th Venice Biennale. I have had solo exhibitions in London, Iceland and Berlin, and group shows in Beijing, Athens, London, Oxford, Ruse and Poznan. In addition, I have worked with other artists including my long-term collaborator Kolbrun Inga Soring with whom I am working on an ongoing project called The Fourth Culture – Micro Nation which was invited to show at the SOUISOUI Studio in Berlin. Together, we were also awarded a scholarship from The Listastofan Gallery in Iceland.

I have recently worked with international artists such as Otobong Nkanga and Irena Haiduk, and performed in Documenta14 in Kassel, Germany. My latest achievement is being shortlisted by for the Ashurt Emerging Artist Prize.
