These thresholds are where she creates a space of reflection and play. She graduated from Anadolu University, Eskişehir (Faculty of Fine Arts, 2019). After moving to Berlin, she worked as a production assistant at Uferhallen and later at Studio Hanniball Gallery. Alongside her practice, Ilgın works as a student tutor at UdK Berlin, supporting seminars with and developing participatory formats that create dialogue with audiences.Selected Projects & Exhibitions 2025 The Leftovers, group exhibition The Presented Touch, curated by Clara Pistner & Lara Rocho, Salon am Moritzplatz, Berlin FIRFIR!
