SAHA supports Van Abbemuseum within the scope of Göksu Kunak’s new project titled Spillage between 31 January - 20 September 2026.

‘Let yourself be heard’ is the core invitation of Make Some Noise: Desire. Stage. Change., the ninth and final edition of Positions, a series that for over a decade has created space for experimentation and singular artistic perspectives. Twelve international artists and collectives convene in a dynamic constellation of solo presentations, performances, and encounters. Their practices span choreography, sound, theatre, sculpture, cinema, and AI composition, each offering a distinct approach to how bodies, materials, and technologies move and resonate. Göksu Kunak introduces Spillage, an installation and opening performance about experiencing a mental and physical crash.

The annual Positions exhibition series, which is dedicated to creating space for experimentation, gives several artists or collectives the opportunity to present their artistic positions independently of each other. They do so in dialogue with the museum and its surroundings. Positions shows innovative, thought-provoking and urgent work by emerging artists and collectives from the Netherlands and abroad. Previous editions featured presentations by Mounira Al-Solh, Anna Boghiguian, Bouchra Khalili, Naeem Mohaiemen, Laure Prouvost, Jatiwangi Art Factory and Cristina Flores Pescorán, among others. 

Göksu Kunak (Ankara, 1985) is an artist, researcher and writer based in Berlin. Kunak’s interest lies in especially chronopolitics and hybrid texts that deal with the performative lingo(s) of contemporary lifestyles as well as non-Western/unorthodox dramaturgies. As a non-native English writer, their texts play with multilingualism and syntax. Influenced by Arabesk culture and late modernities, Kunak imagines new situations out of real encounters that point out the problematics of hetero-patriarchal structures. Orientalism, self- Orientalization (the perception of the 'Eastern', and how the Eastern sees themselves through this construction), as well as camouflage, self-censorship and science fiction are other interests of Kunak.
