With a background in international relations, Bahar Cemre's practice emerges from a realization that policy rarely holds space for lived experience. She turns to art to think with communities rather than about them, seeking dialogue over distance. Bahar Cemre sees curation as a conversation between memory and imagination, between what is preserved and what is becoming. Through curating, she explore how heritage can shift from a static archive to a living resource; one that connects, heals, and provokes. She aims to listen for what is often unheard, seeking to create spaces of honesty and co-creation.
