writing & editorial

 

Over the years, I’ve worked on editorial projects that span essays, interviews, exhibition books, brand storytelling, and bilingual (EN/TR) content for magazines, cultural institutions, and brands — sometimes as a writer, sometimes an editor, often both.

Whether developing a new voice or translating an existing one with care, my editorial work is rooted at the intersection of storytelling, clarity, and rhythm.

More about my editorial work below, along with a selection of current & past projects.


META Foundation | editor at large

 
 

I currently co-lead the editorials project for the META Foundation. In May ‘25, we launched a new platform dedicated to exploring cultural institutions and systems through unexpected angles. Titled Museums, the inaugural issue brought together voices like Paola Antonelli (MoMA), Daniel Birnbaum (Acute Art), and idris brewster (Kinfolk Tech) to reflect on the evolving role of museums in a changing world — from digital shifts and decolonial reckonings to community engagement and public space.

Our next issue is titled Sports, and scheduled to be published in fall ‘25.


Erimtan Archaeology & Arts Museum | editor & translator

 
 

I served as both editor and translator (TR/EN) for the exhibition book accompanying A Route at the Limits of the Mind, a major retrospective on the life and works of Turkish artist Fikret Muallâ. The publication, spanning several hundred pages, offered an in-depth look at the artist’s turbulent life and prolific work — weaving together historical essays, curatorial texts, and archival materials for both Turkish and international audiences.

OMM (Odunpazarı Modern Museum)

I worked with the founding team at OMM before the opening of the museum and its adjacent boutique hotel to create a city guide for Eskişehir (not too dissimilar to the ones I’d already been doing for fun), to later be sold at the museum’s gift shop.
