Over Timea Kutlu
Timea is a Hungarian Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and professional manager, working as an interdisciplinary researcher and artist. Her work integrates natural-scientific, ecological systems thinking with cultural analysis, as well as movement- and sound-based artistic practices. Her perspective is shaped by a Hungarian shamanistic worldview understood as an eco-centric, holistic mode of observation, combined with long-term engagement in Turkish–Aegean cultural contexts.
Experiences rooted in the Aegean region and the Hellenistic legacy—particularly the operational logic of ritual and healing spaces—form key reference points in her work. Her primary artistic creation is Nardance, an intuitive, movement-centred artistic form that investigates the unity of body, sound, and space, reinterpreting Hellenistic ritual structures through contemporary practice and innovatively re-examining Aegean cultural knowledge. Through both writing and artistic projects, Timea examines how living systems, the body, and space are culturally organized from an eco-biological and systems-level perspective.
