Dr Özge Çelikaslan is a transdisciplinary scholar and practitioner. She is co-founder of bak.ma online archive of social movements (2014), and remains an active member.

Her research and artistic practice engage with overlooked moving image materials, where questions of memory, contested territories, and archival ecologies intersect. She explores how archival gaps can become spaces of possibility, working across different media to activate silenced narratives and contested histories.

She currently teaches film and media studies at universities and collaborates internationally on archival, artistic, and research-based initiatives.

She is the author of Archiving the Commons: Looking Through the Lens of bak.ma (2024).
