Little reminder for the #TBT we posted a bit over a week ago! Have you read #snoekbal by @lamarquisemarthe yet? We have added a Throwback button in our #linktree, see bio!
Today we post An Ode to the Door: a short opinionated essay about the importance of doors (imagine a fight without a good door slamming?) and the role they play in our lives, both small and on a larger scale.
On the 25th of March, Paratext published @kagiso_universalis' poem "Hypnosystem" 🖥️ in which he tackles our March / April theme Square Eyed / Vierkante Ogen 👁️
Paratext would like to dust off some of its past posts, so we have added a #ThrowbackThursday link to our bio! Have you checked out our first #TBT 'Snoekbal' before? In 2018, @lamarquisemarthe wrote this Dutch piece during the @dasmag summer camp. It is loosely based on the extraordinary cave rescue of a Thai football team. You can read this breathtaking short story on our website now! #TBT Link in our bio🏞️
Enjoying the sun outside? Or are you lounging inside? Either way it’s a good day to remind you all to head over to our website and read @minthew piece on the season of spring 🌸🌼 #paratextmag #spring #sunshine #utrecht #writing #utrechtwrite
In line with our theme Square Eyed / Vierkante Ogen, @kagiso_universalis has written a wonderful poem, called "Hypnosystem" 🖥️
Not ready to be positive yet after yesterday’s results? Come join us in reading @minthew ‘s piece on the season of spring. Maybe you can channel your rage and accompany her in her resistance 🌸🌼🌞#rageagainstthespring #summermisfit #opinionpiece #paratext #paratextmag
Have you already had a chance to check out @thomasgaalen's visual investigation of cultural entanglement on the Dutch Caribbean? If not, go read "A Festival of Hybridity" now on our website!
March is upon us, bringing our second bimonthly theme of 2021 with it: Square Eyes / Vierkante Ogen 💬
