About
PELDA AYTAŞ
Born in 1992 in Diyarbakır, Turkey, Pelda Aytaş is a visual artist and educator whose practice weaves feminist and ecofeminist perspectives into contemporary textile-based art. She graduated in 2014 from the Department of Visual Arts Education at Dicle University’s Ziya Gökalp Faculty of Education and has been teaching Visual Arts ever since. In 2019, she earned a Master’s degree from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Artuklu University.
Aytaş’s work combines embroidery as both material and metaphor, transforming memory, gender, and tradition into a collective critique. Through this practice she reveals the intersections of body, nature, and cultural narratives, reclaiming marginalized identities and materials to challenge patriarchal and imperial structures.
