On today's episode, we have our very first in-studio guest, Agata Borghesan aka
@solitudeskinnyscars . Agata is an Italian alternative model and performer who moved
to Norway about a year ago. Today she will discuss with us the issue of conscious and
responsible use of social media, both as a user and a creator and about the role of its
algorithms in shaping our body image and affecting our mental health.

Tune in via our linktree in our bio 🖤

Agata Borghesan, aka Solitude Skinny Scars, is an Italian alternative model and
performer who works worldwide to try to create different, dark and deep art. She has
been internationally published in magazines (previously also on DBM) and books, and
her pictures have been part of europewide exhibitions, either organized by herself or by
photographers she worked with. One of her major topics is mental health awareness, a
theme on which she also published e-books of poetry and a novel, both in her native
language Italian and in English.

Multiple organizations and event organizers in Tun

Multiple organizations and event organizers in Tunisia are trying to create a healthy
discussion around sexuality and gender. Mawjoudin, Damj, Chouf and Falgatna as well as
many Tunisian activists and human rights defenders are fighting for the rights of the LGBTQ
community that is still being discriminated against, not only by an archaic penal law but also
vague morality legislations in addition to social stigma and intolerance. We had the honor to
speak to non-binary queer activist Weema Yahyaoui Askri to get an idea about queer rights
in Tunisia, how far the fight has come and what is being done to protect members of the
LGBTQ community.

coordinator for Mawjoudin Queer Film Festival in its third edition in 2019, and then started

immigrants, migrant, refugees and queer asylum in Tunisia. They are also chair board of
directors with the African Queer Youth Initiative, where they have been a member since
2017. AQYI is a network of youth activists and organisations mobilizing, supporting and

Ten years ago, on the 22nd of July 2011 Norwegians

Ten years ago, on the 22nd of July 2011 Norwegians experienced the deadliest lone actor
terrorist attacks in Europe´s history. Ten years later, the Internet has enabled people to use
online technologies for terrorist means, and individual attackers and their ideologies are widely
spread and readily available among ever-growing online communities. Many are also the
institutions and organizations working to counter online radicalization and hate.
On today´s episode we discuss all of this with Khalifa-Ihler co-founder and director Bjørn Ihler
who survived the attack and Dr. Matthew Feldman, director of the Center for Analysis on Radical Right and professorial
fellow at the University of York. Both of our guests are dedicating their lives to counter far-right
ideologies and prevent such events from ever happening again.
