Asli Narin is a visual artist and an educator based in Indianapolis, Indiana, originally
from Istanbul, Turkey. Narin’s artistic practice is based on photography, video, and
installation. She explores coexistence and interconnectedness inspired by nature and
cosmic awareness through forms and abstractions. Her subjects are often the
thresholds, dualities, and cycles of life.During her time at VSW’s Project Space Residency, she will work on her recent project
called Hand In Hand, a fictitious work about her ancestral history and the cycle of
immigration in her family, through vernacular photography and writing. This ongoing
project deals with the cycle of life and death, epigenetics, and transformation through
immigration. It is inspired by her immigration to the United States in 2018 and her
ancestors’ immigration from Bosnia and Herzigova to Turkey during the Balkan Wars in
the 1910s.
