Ayşe İdil İdil is an artist based in Istanbul. She received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In her practice she looks at the possibility of intimacy in human-object-nature relationships, how memories are constructed and preserved, and how translatable thoughts and feelings are. Her first solo show An absent door, always open was exhibited at poşe in 2018. Her texts weaving different forms of knowledges together have been published online and in print. She is a co-founder of Garp Sessions, a summer research programme on the Aegean coast of Turkey, which prioritizes collective learning, thinking, and digesting.
