Kulikovska Maria
“…Queer; hybrid; non-binary; feminist; free; in exile; politically engaged, in-quest-for-identity, destroying to the ground and rebuilding themselves; rebelling against borders and controls; living uncensored; out of the conflict; in the eternal search for their new home, new life; principled; independent; in search of their own place in the world; having heroic parents, they are ready to give everything and even more for the sake of the future…”
