Magazine committee
plakt@akt-online.nl

We (Susan, Aimée, Valérie, and Jorik) are this year’s editorial board of PLAKT, AKT’s very own magazine that is published at borrels four times a year. We will write articles for you about all our (media and culture related) interests. With some more serious journalism as well as lighthearted reviews and even fun games, we hope to keep you entertained throughout our releases. And of course feel free to reach out if you have an amazing idea for something that you’d want to see!

Susan:

Hi! I’m Susan, this year’s chair of PLAKT. I’m 20 and in my third year of media and culture, currently writing my thesis on Sinners (2025). For the past year I have been writing film reviews for BLIK magazine, but I’m interested in much more than just movies so I thought I would expand the topics I write about by joining PLAKT. I love exploring new places and cultures, and you can often find me at a concert. With my high school background of NG/NT, however, I can also be a bit of a science nerd at times. I’m excited to bring all of my interests into articles for you all to read this coming year!

Valérie:

Haii! My name is Valérie and I will be the PR and designer of this year’s PLAKT. I’m 18 years old and I’m in my first year of Media and Culture, which I’m really enjoying so far. I love to make music, visit museums, travel, watch movies and I’m always in for a fun party 😉 I have always been interested in things such as music and art and I enjoy discovering how different creative media can influence and inspire people. I already have some experience with editing and graphic design, which I’m excited to develop further and use within the committee. I’m looking forward to writing about all kinds of creative topics and can’t wait for you all to read about them this year! Xx

Aimée:

Hey! My name is Aimée, I’m 18 years old, and I will be the secretary for PLAKT this year. I’m a first year student of Media and Culture and always had an interest in everything media and pop culture related, so I am very excited to write about those topics this year! I love to watch movies (obviously), listen to my very diverse CD collection (and go to concerts when I have the money for them), play tennis at Olympos, bake recipes I find on Instagram, and often go shopping at my local thrift store. I have very broad interests and I’m always curious about everything, so I’m very excited to write about all my hyper fixations for PLAKT :). 

Jorik:

I’m Jorik, and I’ll be this year’s treasurer of PLAKT. I’m 21 and in my first year of Media and Culture. I’m a creative person: I’m great at drawing and dabble in piano, but what really drives me is storytelling. I understand everything through stories; not the “what,” but the “how” and “why.” I’m fascinated by the natural world: evolution and speculative evolution; life on Earth in past, present, and future; the possibilities of life beyond our planet; and creatures with adaptations far beyond human comprehension. I absolutely love movies, especially deep, layered storyworlds where everything is intentionally crafted. I aspire to write such stories myself, maybe even adapt them into films. This year, I’m excited to dive into the ideas that inspire me, learn more about them, and share them with you all.
