Filiz Aksu
I was born and raised in Turkey. I have been continuing my artistic career in the field of theatre, creative drama and puppet theater for more than 20 years. I am an artist of the traditional Turkish shadow puppet theater Karagöz, which is on the UNESCO list. I acted in theater plays for years, wrote and directed plays, organized many trainings and workshops with children, young people and adults, and organized large artistic organizations. I have received training from many masters throughout my art career, and I continue to do so because learning is a never-ending process for me. I broke new ground in the field of art-based education with my team by exhibiting puppet theaters for values education for the first time in Turkey. I make my own puppets. After coming to Finland, I took part in many festivals and organizations. I believe that art is one of the greatest tools to beautify the world. From a humanist perspective, I always like to present entertainment and values together in my artistic production. I believe that art is the greatest source of the art of living together, covering, decorating and beautifying the whole world.
