Our team
We are belonging.txt
We are a community that develops a calendar each year which aims to accentuate different voices of activists and artists, who utilise their artwork to raise awareness about the feelings and the hindrances of ‘belonging’.
The founders
Esther & Linda & Yu Rim. We have two hearts beating in our chests: one deeply rooted in the place where we belong, and the other longing for the unknown. We are bonded by an inner closeness and our mutual curiosity for peace, planet & people. But wherever we go, we are always guided by a strong sense for justice and the urge to give every being the deserved love and respect.
Additional Information
The founders are currently committed to registering a registered nonprofit organisation under German law (‘e.V.’). Stay tuned for more!
