The mentoring program “@unfolding_forms – shaping tomorrow”, hosted by @walashe.fam
Two weeks full of learning, growth, exchange and creation, bundled with a beautiful final showcase evening.
Throughout the entire process, we closely accompanied the (dance) artists and created a short recap video, capturing the journey, the in-between moments and the artistic development that unfolded.
It all took place at @olof_palme_zentrum in Berlin, bringing together emerging dance artists presenting their own works alongside inspiring performances by professionals from the local dance scene.
We are grateful to have been part of this process and to translate movement, community and transformation into visual storytelling.

After weeks of overthinking and experimenting, my new EP “TAKSIM SQUARE” is finally out on all platforms. 💿
The EP is named after the vibrant and chaotic #TaksimSquare in Beyoğlu/İstanbul – a place full of stories, movement, and raw emotion.
But the music itself is a reflection of my experiences, encounters, and emotions over the past year – the fleeting moments, the quiet reflections, the movement through cities and landscapes. 🎑
Four songs, recorded between Türkiye and Germany in different phases of the year, capturing fragments of journeys, late-night thoughts, and the small, intimate details that go unnoticed.
Give it a listen and let yourself drift through the beats, the moods, and the stories woven into every note of this EP. ☕️ #linkinbio
