In her artistic practice across multiple media, Leyla Yenirce (born 1992 in Qubîn, Kurdistan) deals with the representation of resistance as well as cultural, medial and military structures of dominance. She exposes the fine line between glorifying ideology and resistant emancipation, sensibly interrelating what is often assumed to be opposites: feminism and war, pop culture and genocide, desire, longing and irony.
