Valeryja Kustava, 24, is known as the wild child of the Belarusian literary scene. She published her first collection of poetry when she was only seven. In February I was happy to invite her to give a reading performance during the CULTural Days of the exhibition project “Focus on Belarus - Terra Incognita”. Stunned by her compelling show entitled “Love me in Belarusian” I decided to interview her about the Belarusian approach to the universal language of love. Read her answers in issue no. 5 of the online journal europe&me.
