Sevgi Macide is an artist who actively contributes to organizing projects initiated by the Paris Biennale where  she is a partner. ​Her background in architecture in Istanbul, led her to pursue advanced studies in scenography in Paris. Following her graduation, she moved to Paris to engage more deeply in the performing arts. Her time at esteemed institutions, including the Odéon–Théâtre de l’Europe and the Opéra national de Paris, exposed her to new ways of expression.

​

Her work examines the aesthetic–political dimensions of collective memory, labor, and ritual gestures through the body–space relationship. Rather than producing a new object/“artwork,” Sevgi Macide uses the “harmlessness” of ordinary or devalued objects to develop non-invasive micro-interventions in historically and culturally significant sites. By constructing fragile layers of counter-memory against patriarchy, she tests regimes of value through performative gestures.
