Workstreams / Çalışmalar

Sanem’s HR is my special format: improvised theme-specific lecture-performances with minimal live music. HR is an acronym for historical revelations or revisionism, or human resources or high resolution. The format is based on my need to exploit my capabilities to the full, so I narrate and play music and sing and discuss. I do a weekly HR service in English and Turkish every Monday on YouTube, and occasional performances with physical audience.

The current focus of my academic research is the ideological and cultural history of the Cold War in Turkey and Greece. Work in progress. 

I have founded the Magic Kitchen of Exarcheia, a migrant-run vegan cooperative eatery, serving food in the center of Athens since 2021. The Magic Kitchen has closed late 2025. For more information and contact, please check our webpage or instagram profile.

Since 2018 I have been working as a fortune-teller using coffee cups, tarot cards and other tools. While I do personal readings on demand, I prefer sharing my knowledge in workshops. I might add some sources here at some point. Please check my other instagram profile for more information. For bookings and inquiries you can send an email.

I was part of the Mouries Collective between 2021-2024, where we worked on developing connections with trees, plants and the diverse beings with whom we share this planet. For information about their work please check the website: Mouries Collective.

I was part of the Atina Kolektifi between 2017 and the unclear date that it stopped existing. Our website has disappeared but you can find information on our facebook page.
