Für ein feministisches und gerechtes Europa
Three years in a row is a tradition, so I’m now making it a tradition to write about my creative year in a blog post. If you have a look at my instagram, you can already see a video roundup of my favourite 2023 knits by designers Poisongrrrl and Tailoress Studio. 2023 was a year …
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. …

The international women’s day roots in the activities of socialist organisations and activists in the beginning of the 20th century. In the US and Europe those early socialist feminists fought for the introduction of an international day for the struggle of women. In 1917 the 8th of March became a national holiday in Soviet Russia. …
Before I travelled to Kyiv, I did not think much about the city. Not that I had planned for that (not) to happen or had been ignorant – the busy weeks (months? year?) before my trip simply left no room for planning. Already during the first hour (after 19 hours in the train), however, as …
