Buse, an cultural entrepreneur and filmmaker based in Istanbul.

As she has always been interested in creative industry and different cultures, she has firstly got her foundation degree in art and design in Brighton, UK. While getting more involved in contemporary art practice, she delved more into the theory of art and pursued BA degree in History of Art at Goldsmiths University of London. After she worked in various exhibition projects, she discovered her interest profoundly in film and video practice. Then she found herself in Paris, pursuing a second degree in documentary filmmaking at ESEC

She has been playing an essential role during the construction of artistic and cultural identity of Beykoz Kundura that she is dreaming about since 2012. Today she is in charge of artistic & cultural management of Kundura Stage and Cinema in Beykoz Kundura. Impressed by the rich history of the factory, she also initiated the oral history and visual archive project Kundura Hafıza, which is turning into an upcoming documentation centre right now.

In the meantime, Buse is creating her own audio-visual projects and helping other artists produce works under “Lita”, a house of production that she founded. As she has recently done MA degree on Visual and Media Anthropology at Freie Universität in Berlin, she is shaping her art practice more on ethnographic methods, while carrying on curating and managing at Beykoz Kundura.
