Ingo Jesen Vitman Öri

Ingo Jesen Vitman Öri is a poet almost made and a student of sociology and art history.  Or, as they’d describe themselves: 

“lesbian butch diagnosed transsexual  
at times even a traitor to the nation  
and most importantly none of the above” 

Vitman Öri is the first published trans* author in Slovenia, with their debut poetry collection titled “Sin svoje roke (Own Hand’s Son)”, released by ŠKUC in 2024. They have contributed to the Festival of socially engaged writing Itn. and various forms of student organising, seeking to establish a connected and politically conscious student body. Above all, they are seeking ways of existing and creating beyond established frameworks.
