Ergül Cengiz is a freelance visual artist. In 2004, together with Henrieke Ribbe and Kathrin Wolf, she founded the artists' group 3 Hamburger Frauen, which mainly works on ephemeral murals in the Medieum. In their collaborative projects, the 3 Hamburger Frauen deal intensively with aspects of artistic and female identity. In her own works (silhouettes, installations, paintings) Ergül Cengiz is searching for the balance of visual habits between Orient and Occident.
