Doğan Sabancı

Vuslat (1971) is a multidisciplinary artist working with drawing, sculpture, ceramics, and installation.

Her practice centers on the concept of emanet, a conceptual framework through which she investigates trust, care, guardianship, memory, and collective consciousness. Drawing inspiration from mythological narratives, philosophical reflection, and the interrelationships between nature and culture, she develops a visual language that is both poetic and meticulous. Rooted in the processes of memory and transmission, her work reflects on forms of knowledge passed down through generations and entrusted across time.

After nearly two decades of independent work, Vuslat presented her first solo exhibition, "Silence," at Pi Artworks Gallery in 2022, curated by Chus Martínez. This was followed by her first institutional exhibition, "Emanet," at the Baksı Museum in 2025. In 2024, she held a solo exhibition at the Tophane-i Amire Five-Domed Hall at MSGSU, curated by Ebru Yetişkin, and presented her second institutional exhibition at the Troya Museum, curated by Paolo Colombo.

In 2020, she founded Generous Listening, a global initiative that explores listening as an ethical and social practice. Since 2024, she has been pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree at Otis College of Art and Design. During the spring semester of 2026, she was a visiting researcher at Tufts University, where she taught a course on the Generous Listening framework.
