RAGE is a new global multidisciplinary feminist digital and print zine and platform for expressing feminist rage as a tool for creative change and action.
We are an inclusive and non-profit feminist platform for expression – one where rage can be set free with vulnerability and dignity. Our zine publishes bold and experimental feminist content (writing, art & more) primarily in English, with an emphasis on multidisciplinarity, harnessing rage as the powerful source of creativity it can be. We also host launch events, workshops, and talks seeking to provide a space for voices that are usually unheard.
The project is led by the RAGE Collective, a group of young feminist artists, creatives, writers, academics, and activists based around the world but headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.
ART EDITOR / @alvaguzzini
Alva is an artist and a book and paper conservator in training, based in Amsterdam.
She is interested in the arts and particularly intrigued by questions around the politics of memory, material realities, bodies, practices of women, and their intersections. She inherited her interest in feminism from her great grandmother and it hasn’t skipped a generation. She recently discovered that she hates neither computers nor squash – people can change.
OUTREACH & SOCIAL MEDIA / @coreyruzi
Corey is a writer, educator, and creative consultant from the San Francisco Bay Area, based in NYC.
She believes in expression as a vehicle for individual and collective evolution, the power of having connections and conversations with people of all perspectives, and the glory of a well told story. She is proud to work with the building of her arts + community collective Where’s The Human?, the mutual empowerment of collaborating with young people, and to have had the chance to assist poet, playwright and Yale University professor and founder of the Racial Imaginary, Claudia Rankine, Broadway composer and thought leader, Jeanine Tesori, and writer, feminist and speaker, Gloria Steinem. Her first feature length poetry collection, ’still’, was published in 2021 by Finishing Line Press.
CULTURE EDITOR / @likehotwater
Ernestine is an art historian based in London.
Her specific area of expertise is 20th century art and its intersections with ecology, place, and queerness. Beyond art she is also an avid cinema-goer, sports enthusiast, and coffee drinker. She has a slow moving artistic practice that is currently focusing on bogs.
ACADEMIC EDITOR / @izzyblankfield
Izzy is a British PhD student and writer based in NYC.
Her work explores the intersection of gender and cultural memory in contemporary Jewish-German literature, tracing manifestations of generational trauma in performances of mothering with a particular focus on maternal anger and maternal regret. She is fascinated by strong emotions – not least her own – and strives in her life and research to engage head-on with the frustration, pain and potential for empowerment that come with the very way we express ourselves. She can usually be found in the swimming pool in her spare time.
GRAPHIC & WEB DESIGNER / @juliesavery.jpeg
Julie is a creator based in Berlin, with a background in dance and performance. Her creative work spans visual, digital, and physical arts. She trained as a professional dancer in Malmö and Berlin, and in 2019, co-founded the performance collective blitzbereit, which focuses on contemporary tragicomedy grounded in improvisation and instant composition.
In 2020, Julie began her bachelor’s degree in Communication Design at HTW Berlin, where she explored ways to combine her interest in performance with visual communication. Drawing from her performance experience and studies in communication design, Julie continues to explore the intersection of art, design, and performance through her master studies in scenography and set-design at TU Berlin.
DIGITAL EDITOR & EVENTS / @noonerkeni
Keni is a dedicated community builder with years of experience at the intersection of partnerships and social impact based in NYC.
Her career has been shaped by a commitment to nonprofit work and creating meaningful change through storytelling, shared experiences, and strategic initiatives.

POETRY EDITOR / @itslawrah
Laura is a Chilean and German poet & writer. After having lived in cities such as Cologne, Cádiz, and Copenhagen, she is now based in Vienna and doing an MA in Comparative Literature.
In her art and in life, she is interested in raw emotions, vulnerability, and softness. For her, women’s empowerment, self-agency, and gender equality go hand in hand with these. She finds beauty in the mundane and strives to live a creative, empowered, romantic life. More often than not, she will turn to topics such as heartbreak, existential dread, ecstatic emotions, and vast sadness, rather than rage. As she states herself, she is ‘way too soft for rage.. rage makes me cautious, it reminds me to zoom out and to wonder what lies underneath’. So this should be interesting.
SCIENCE EDITOR / @loyfeuille
Lorenza is a PhD Student in Biophotonics from Italy usually based in Copenhagen, but currently living in Boston and completing a visiting fellowship at MIT.
She thinks being a feminist woman in STEM is such a weird experience – apart from the imposter syndrome and the female quotas, STEM is a place where people generally fear or are skeptical about feminism. She’s part of the DTU Feminist Forum Steering Group, where she works with innovative speakers to give inspiring talks followed by open discussions. She’s always produced her most heartfelt art out of anger, and is looking forward to discovering how others create portraits of their rage and what it sparks in them. As Science Editor she’s hoping to find new expressions of feminism and explore the Venn diagram intersection of science, rage and feminism.
POLITICS EDITOR / @mathilde.br
Mathilde works at the EU Commission on peace and security in sub-Saharan Africa and is based in Brussels.
Danish and Swiss, she grew up near Copenhagen and did her studies in London, UK. She wrote her undergraduate dissertation on female trauma and the #MeToo movement, and then focused on human rights in conflict and fragile contexts. Her professional life centres on peace and security and human rights topics, having worked both in NGOs and within EU institutions. Her discussions on feminism across cultures, genders and generations have almost always brought with them anger and frustration from all parties involved – why she’s interested in further exploring why feminism is tied to rage and how this affects wider human rights and political agendas.
FOUNDER & EDITOR-IN-CHIEF / @nadiadrazali
Nadia is an Algerian and Danish feminist activist, facilitator, and writer based in Copenhagen.
She previously spent years living abroad in Cambridge, UK and NYC, US, where she, besides studying and working, was deeply involved in feminist activism and zine-making, and wrote about and advocated for inclusive sexuality and LGBTQ+ rights.
Nadia is currently a Project Coordinator at UN Women, and an Advisor on Diversity, Inclusion, and Youth for a global conference. In her free time, she directs content and knowledge for the platform Sexualia, volunteers for LGBTQ+ events, and writes about feminism, sexuality, mixed-race identity, psychoanalysis, trauma, and their intersections. She loves synchronicities, wearing the colour green, & reading sexy books in public.
GENDER & LGBTQIA+ EDITOR / @rozdavjon
Rosa is a non-binary Brit, originally from London and currently based in Norwich, UK.
They recently completed an MA in Gender, Media & Culture from Goldsmiths College (UoL), and their work seeks to explore the intersections between structural violence, affect and disablement. They enjoy playing football, cooking (but never following a recipe), losing at badminton to their partner and chilling at the pub. They are incredibly excited to be a part of the RAGE Collective and hold space for all the bad-tempered queers out there hoping to share their fury, stories, secrets, injustices, and gender feels.
PARTNERSHIPS & EVENTS / @rosagreiffenberg
Rosa has a bachelor’s degree in gender studies (Lund University) and is based in Copenhagen.
She is currently studying for an MA in modern culture and working at the centre for gender, sexuality and difference at the University of Copenhagen.
In her spare time she loves engaging with - and talking about - intersectional feminism and social justice, as well as volunteering with queer youth in LGBT+ Danmark and norm critics in Normstormerne. When not raging about the situation of the world, Rosa can most times be found cooking delicious food or starting a new knitting project.
PSYCHOLOGY EDITOR / @roselilesmarelda
Roselil is a therapist based both in Copenhagen, Denmark and in San Diego, California.
She works with existential phenomenology as a therapist, exploring themes such as how do I want to live my life? What is important for me in my life? For the last five years she’s also been working with sexology and sex education. She runs the art and sexuality platform, Sexualia, which seeks to expand our understanding of sexuality and ‘un-box’ the world. For her, rage and anger are exciting emotions, a natural part of life, and she would like to explore the spectrum of human emotions more and to normalize feeling what we need to feel and create room to express this. According to her, there is a great vulnerability in showing and sharing one’s feelings – this is a strength.
COMMUNITY & ENGAGEMENT / @v.e.r.u
With a degree in English Literature and an M.A. in Shakespeare Studies – yes, that’s a thing! wild, I know – during which she focused on female agency within the playwright’s works, the written word has been her companion and confidante for a long time. Occasionally dabbling in creative writing herself, but primarily focusing on copywriting in her full-time job, she moved to Copenhagen in 2023 after living in Munich, Germany and London, UK and is looking forward to help in building a community of raging feminists in the Danish capital.
OPINION EDITOR / @leziezelin
Zélie is a modern languages teacher based in Canada.
She blends her educational expertise with her role as Opinion Editor and delves into the complexities of rage, examining its vital importance and society's regulation of women's anger. Inspired by insights like those from Taous Merakchi, who believes that ’it’s incomprehensible how one can live without raging, it seems incredibly irresponsible to do so nowadays’. Zélie is passionate about challenging societal norms. She is on a mission to explore the intersection of teaching and fury, questioning the constraints placed on rage and its compatibility with pedagogical practices. Always ready to ignite meaningful conversations, Zélie's vision embodies the fusion of education and rebellion.
