Doğa Sultan is an Istanbul-based designer. While her primary practice is rooted in textile and garment design, she produces visual work across multiple disciplines. Her work is situated at the intersection of textile surface research, garment design, street art, and independent publishing & zines.
Her practice is rooted within the countercultural frameworks of punk and hardcore. In this context, she runs the Antipode book series, which documents underground punk and hardcore scenes across different regions, as well as DIY culture and local countercultural networks. Beyond publishing, Antipode also encompasses events and releasing music compilations.
Tabideee is a DJ, researcher, and archivist exploring the critical contributions of Black communities across the continent and diaspora to electronic music. Her sound pays tribute to Afro-Arab electronic productions, specifically exploring her Sudanese heritage and neighboring influences.
Through this, she has developed an archival practice documenting music that moves beyond traditional institutions — drawing from platforms like YouTube, SoundCloud, cassette mixtapes, phone recordings, and personal fieldwork. This evolving archive serves both as a method of documentation and sample pack – a palette of sounds used in her sets, soundscapes, audio lectures and her own productions.
