Editor & Writing Club Facilitator

Kübra (she/her) is a freelance writer, copywriter and communication strategist. Her dream is to see inequality and injustice that is omnipresent in the world to be dissappeared, but since that seems like a long way to go she decided to use her activism for more inclusive language, and more stories on migration and identity. She works with humanitarian, cultural, social and educational organisations and likes to overanalyse everything around her. 

Editor & Writing Club Facilitator

Paulina (she/her) is a Ghent-based researcher and artist from Argentina. She seeks her sources in feminism, decolonial studies, queer studies, the entire woke agenda. She negotiates with the inevitable tradition of white, male, First-World thinkers. More than anything she tries to find stories, personal stories, life experiences: subjective mini-universes that both confirm her suspicions and forever surprise her. 

Editor

In recent years she worked as an editor of non-fiction books in traditional publishing and has since embarked on a journey of applying her passion for editing as a freelancer on a broad range of texts and projects. Her favorite thing about working with text is constantly relearning how language works, getting most excited when writers crack open the structure of language as we know it, revealing no meanings are fixed and anything is possible.

Editor & Event organizer

Betsy (she/her) likes working in various contexts, whether it's selling mushrooms at markets or conducting documentary research, as long as it involves exploring different stories, unexpected encounters, and busy working days.
