Ay\u00e7a Y\u00fcksel <\/span><\/b>is a PhD candidate at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Beyo\u011flu, and an activist researcher of sociology. Her ongoing research explores various aspects including space; the right to the city, commoning, and solidarity practices; alternative resistance; and the relationship between ecology, multi-species, and care labor. Currently, she examines the tea plant and human relationship in the context of care labor and cooperation practices in the town of Hopa in Turkey. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Y\u00fcksel\u2019s<\/span> research for the BAK Fellowship for Situated Practice emphasizes the perspective that humans are not separate from plants while they cultivate, sustain life, practice agriculture, and resist against the state or market. By focusing on the processes of alignment and disalignment, mutual interaction, and entangled relationships between humans and plants, it highlights their coexistence. While attempting to demonstrate how these relationships take place symbiotically and interdependently, the project also strives to discover alternative connections and forms of relationships.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
