Find more about Elif’s work here.

Elif and I have been co-lecturing and co-facilitating in many different contexts. She draws on an extensive expertise in critical pedagogy, anti-oppressive research, social work and beyond. She is also the founder of Dokustelle Austria, and our collaboration is grounded in a shared commitment to critical education, anti-racist practice and collective learning.

The collaboration with Elif is very special to me because we have moved through many phases and dimensions of our lives alongside each other. We have adjusted, transformed and strengthened each other and together. I do not take it for granted that we found each other and have continued to choose this connection, with clarity, steadiness and care.

Sedra is a social worker, anti-racism facilitator, researcher and activist, with particular expertise in youth and youth psychosocial counselling. She is one of my long-term partners and co-conspirators, and someone I regularly refer people to when her particular wide-ranging expertise is needed.

We have shown up with and for each other, in the most curious places and at the most unexpected times of the day, often simply by each other’s side. I do not take that kind of presence for granted.

bassano is a Vienna-based transmedial sound artist whose practice unfolds through multichannel performative installations, soundscapes and compositions for performance, theatre, dance and video art. Working with listening as a relational method, they move through poetry, resonance and vibration, weaving digital, mineral and organic textures into immersive sound worlds.

In our collaboration, bassano reminds me to pay attention to sound, listening, colour, beauty and embodiment, and to the forms of knowledge that can emerge through sensing and relating. Their work with herbs and other materials has also opened my attention to the ways their qualities and forces can become part of how we live, work and create.

Noura is a writer, editor and anthropologist from Jerusalem, currently based in Europe. Her research focuses on the experiences of the African community of Jerusalem under settler colonial rule in Palestine and in the Palestinian diaspora in Jordan. She is the editor of Naseej – Life-Weavings of Palestine.

Her writing, editing and contextualisation bring together histories, geographies and lived experiences.

My exchanges and cooperation with Noura have given me some of the most profound insights into temporalities and into the ways Eurocentric and Westernized perspectives can be deconstructed.

In our collaboration, he has become an incredible support to my practice, bringing technical knowledge together with a sharp and generous way of thinking through problems and possibilities. He helps me translate ideas into forms, while also opening up questions and directions I might not have reached on my own. I deeply appreciate the clarity, patience and curiosity he brings to our exchanges.
