During the BAK Fellowship for Situated Practice, Betül Aksu researched visa requirements for cultural workers and went through the application process of the Global Talent visa herself, to live and work as an artist in the UK. The performance highlights the everyday absurdities of looking at one’s own art practice through the lens of visa requirements.
