Agnieszka Ayşen Kaim
-
is a graduate of Oriental studies, a translator, academic teacher, and storyteller. She chose Oriental studies because of her Turkish descent. She translates because it is the fastest way of moving between the two cultures; she tells stories and teaches to shed light on the complexity of both cultures, their values, traditions as well as personal stories. As part of Grupa Studnia O. she carries out generally Oriental projects, especially Turkish and Persian ones, resorting to epic poems and traditional stories unknown in Poland as well as personal histories of famous Poles related to the Orient. She has written a novel for children and adolescents: Bahar znaczy Wiosna [Bahar means the spring] (Poławiacze Pereł, 2014, 3rd prize in Book of the Year 2016 Award by PS IBBA).
