Asli Serbest and Mona Mahall work in collaborations across spatial and textual practices. Their research-based projects engage architectural and urban histories/futures to rethink contemporary modes of spatial production and the power relations that shape them. Informed by feminist perspectives, their work resists fixed forms and instead unfolds through variation, shifts in scale, and processes of translation across physical and digital environments. By reclaiming marginalized, forgotten, or rejected knowledges, they explore alternative ways of organizing our lives, institutions, online and offline movements, often through projects situated in Istanbul and other sites shaped by transcultural urban histories.
