BODUR is here to channel musical art into an exploration of self. The London-born Turkish-Sri Lankan artist harnesses an alternative electronic soundscape to embrace her dual heritage and layered identities. From the EP title to her visual aesthetics, BODUR’s creative process is shaping her as an artist who is inspiring a generation of South Asian and Middle Eastern women across the UK. Delicately capturing three stages of transformation and documenting a journey of self-acceptance, effortlessly weaving through themes of youth, growth and rebirth, ÖZ offers a political and personal project showcasing her natural virtuosity.

Accompanied by a screening of her full album visual, MAQAM, BODUR will be performing  with a full band live at Cinema City, for an experience that cannot be missed. BODUR, in MAQAM, embraces an alternative musical language delving into racism, islamophobia and the worthlessness it instils in young people. The conceptual project is a precise example of BODUR’s artistic and political potential; a counterpoint to whitewashed narratives, and a retelling of stories about the realities that the world is witnessing before them.
