Hulya Ucar, born in Denmark of Turkish background, is a conceptual artist living and working in London since 2008. She spent a few years as a schoolteacher in Denmark before becoming a student herself again, receiving her MA in Fine Arts in 2009 and in Cultural Studies in 2012. Her works are to be found in the midst of an area of tension that embodies Muslim migrant women in Western societies. Hulya explores the established Oriental prejudice on Islam, sexuality and gendered shame as well as migrant hybrid cultures. She is always searching to question and depict her cultural identity through her many vantage points.
