Bio ( long)
Kıvanç Sert (they/them) is a Rotterdam-based artist born in Ankara (1992), working across art, design, and sound. Their practice moves through play, improvisation, and everyday tools, treating these not just as mediums but as methods of inquiry. With a curiosity about cultures, ideologies, and the relationships between objects, users, and space, Kıvanç uses creative production as a means to pose questions, expose tensions, and imagine alternative forms of collective life. They use sonic waves, voice and silance as a tool to tell stories of struggle, memories of destruction.
Their ongoing research examines the intricate relationships between land and folks, with a particular focus on the cultivation of soil, plants, and communities. Through this, they explore how lands, materials and symbolic terrains (plants) are shaped, lived, and transformed.
**Currently based in Rotterdam. Work/Travels lot btw_ Istanbul _ Brussels_ Lisbon
