In Nevin Aladağ’s works, questions of family background, of self-perception and how one is perceived by others, as well as how music acts as a bearer of cultural identity play a major role. In many of her works she uses sculptural and performative means in order to produce sounds and tones which she then utilises for rhythmic compositions.

"It is the way Aladag introduces the notion of boundaries being entangled with identity and the ephemeral nature of the signs that perform identities in flux which gives her work its own place in the debate on issues of culture and globalization." Dirk Snauwaert
