Für ein feministisches und gerechtes Europa
As a cinematic experience (despite a few loopholes in the plot) and fashion inspiration I enjoyed the Barbie movie, especially because it had been hyped in my creative maker bubble for weeks so I paid special attention to costumes and set design. From a feminist perspective I find it more conflicting than expected. Let’s ignore …
It is hard to believe that 2022 is soon to be history. Yet another year gone by surprisingly quick (and the last year of my 20s at that!). I can’t say that I am sad to see this year go, it did not hold up to the hopeful ambitions and wishes I had last January. …

Do you enjoy to see what others made in a year or to reflect on their creative journey in that year? I certainly do and it inspired me to share my creative year with you, too. Instead of sharing a list of all the things I have knitted or sewn, I would rather like to …
After months of (financial) uncertainty, I am happy and proud to have been admitted into the PhD scholarship programme of the Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation (FES), associated with the Socialdemocrat Party in Germany. FES already funded my BA and MA studies and enabled the unique experiences I could make. My personal and professional development would not have been …

Together with my WILPF* colleagues Victoria Scheyer, Dilek Gürsel und Jess Cheung and funded by the Heinrich-Böll-Foundation Germany I had the chance to contribute to an exciting publication: „Practicing Feminist Foreign Policy in the Everyday: A Toolkit“ I don’t think it’s too optimistic to say that we are experiencing a momentum for a more feminist …
