Mustafa Boğa (b. Turkey) is a Turkish artist working between London, UK and Adana, Turkey. His multidisciplinary practice spans video, photography, textile, and performance, exploring themes of memory, heritage, and displacement. Drawing on rituals and imagery from his upbringing in southern Turkey, Boğa incorporates manipulated photographs of family members, ceremonial wreaths associated with weddings and funerals, and quilts embroidered with subversive motifs. Through processes such as freehand machine embroidery and moving image, these materials become vessels for reflecting on cultural identity, migration, and personal histories shaped by social and political systems.
Boğa completed an MA in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, London (2014–2016), following an MA in Cinematography and Post Production at the University of Greenwich, London (2009–2010), and a BA in Journalism at Istanbul University. He is the recipient of the Red Mansion Art Prize (2016) and was awarded Highly Commended Artist at the Ashurst Emerging Artist Prize (2018). His work has been presented internationally, including at Documenta 14 in Kassel, and in exhibitions at Odunpazarı Modern Museum, Eskişehir; Coventry Biennial, UK; and solo presentations in London, Shanghai, and Warsaw.
