    Newsletter: Trans perspectives from Ankara

    I’m writing this on my phone as I curl up on a friend’s armchair in Brussels.

Often comments like “oh but you’re so lucky being an artist” don’t take into consideration the low wages, infrequent payments, ghosting that goes on… Many youth, women, LGBTI+ folk are being underpaid for their…
