For this episode of Name Takes, curator Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy invites artist Cihad Caner for a conversation at a recording studio in Rotterdam, where both of them live. Here, Caner shares insights into his artistic practice, exploring themes of migration and identity in video, installations, and photography. Central to their conversation is the artist’s exploration of the Dutch pastry called Moorkop, which literally translates as moor’s head. Caner speaks about ways in which this pastry, in particular, and issues of representation in general appear in his work. Caner's exploration prompts listeners to critically engage with the power of names and narratives, bridging past and present, challenging racial bias, and reimagining collective histories.
