Author
Dinara Rasuleva is a writer and poet based in Berlin who was born in Kazan. She earned her master’s degree in linguistics from the Nizhny Novgorod State Linguistic University in 2009. She writes in Tatar, Russian, English, and German—languages she uses on a daily basis. Her poetry has been described and analyzed as decolonial and feminist writing, as expressionist poetry, and as performance poetry. In 2020, she founded a feminist writing lab for the Russian-speaking migrant FLINTA community, and in 2022, she initiated the Lostlingual project—an exploration of the loss of her Tatar mother tongue through translingual abstract poetry. In 2023, Dinara founded the TEL:L Labs in collaboration with the Berlin library Totschka: Writing in Forgotten or Stolen Mother Tongues; and in 2020, she co-founded the musical art collective TATAR KYZ:LAR, whose multilingual debut album AŞ was released in 2025 in the form of a video game.
