Ha Za Vu Zu is an artist collective formed in 2005 and based in Istanbul. The collective acts with an absence of hierarchy to encourage the unpredictable within sound and vision. Ha Za Vu Zu sees itself as a hub of abundant collaboration and exchange of ideas. The group’s work lies somewhere between performance and agitprop, humour and the organization of offbeat evenings.
