Tuna Erdem is a queer artist and writer from Turkey, based in London. She is a founding member of Istanbul Queer Art Collective, where she has been performing since 2012. Her artistic work takes many forms ranging from live art to sound and video art but her practice is always related to text and lived experience whatever form it takes. Erdem has been awarded the DYCP grant by Arts Council England to develop her auto-fiction book project, Letter Realness, which she will be working on during her Cove Park residency.
