About
Duygu Ağal (she/he) is a queer activist and author from Berlin. In Yeni Yeşerenler, Ağal uses their very own history to publish short stories, essays, and diary entries in which he reflects on plural, intersectional representation, queerness, identity politics, and their borderlands, as well as their relation to collectivism and individualism. Yeni Yeşerenler (the reborn, the flourishing) are the words of Cennet Yıldırım, Ağals mother, who gave the title for the anthology. "YY." is an autofiction in which the author creates spaces of meditation without owing authenticity to anyone.
