Hey readers,

We are PLAKT, AKT’s own magazine that is published 4 times a year. In this magazine we will be making cool media and culture related articles. This can be anything: movie reviews, recommendations for cultural locations in Utrecht, which festivals to be at or an actual analysis of a medium (scary). Of course, if you, the reader, have any ideas for PLAKT, let us know! Furthermore, we are planning to do something special for dies week this year because it is: Lustrum year (but we will not tell you yet what it is about). Last but not least: if you want to stay updated, follow us on Instagram!

The committee of PLAKT ‘24-’25 presents:
Chair – Alex ter Hofstede
Secretary – Marley Kerstholt
Treasurer – Eline ter Horst
PR/Designer – Eva van der Kolk

Alex:
Hi, I’m Alex, I’m this year’s chair of PLAKT. I’m 20 years old and I’m in my third year of Media and Culture (international track). Last year I did a board year as secretary of AKT, and I really loved writing the monthly newsletter for that, so PLAKT seemed like a perfect fit for me. I’m very excited to keep contributing to AKT in this way.  My current read is ‘I, Robot’ by Isaac Asimov. I’m really liking the book so far because robots are my current obsession and there’s some funny moments in it as well.

 

Marley
Hi!! I’m Marley, this year’s secretary of PLAKT. I’m a third year Media and Culture student, currently very busy writing my bachelor thesis on a series called ‘The Boys’. After a year of taking pictures for AlmanAKT, I thought I’d give writing articles for PLAKT a try! I love consuming media, especially television shows and love yap about them. I also really like reading (when I have the time lol) and a current read of mine is ‘Goede Moed’ by Tim Hofman! I’m really looking forward to writing articles for you all to read and enjoy (hopefully)!

 

Eline
I’m Eline, this year’s treasurer of PLAKT! Right now, I am in my third year of Media and Culture and currently doing my minor at the VU in journalism. After designing the beautiful yearbook, i might say…hihi, last year i decided that with my minor in mind i’d enjoy a year at PLAKT! I love yapping and have a lot of thoughts and opinions on things so you can probably expect highly passionate articles from me about literally anything! I hope y’all are reading this and will also read our hard work in the PLAKT editions of this year. I recently picked up George Orwell’s 1984 to read on my commute. I haven’t cracked it open yet, but I’m excited to start—just like I am with PLAKT!

 

Eva
Hi, my name is Eva and i will be the PR and/or designer of PLAKT this year. The reason i decided to join PLAKT is because i used to help writing the school paper back in high school. I’ve always quite liked designing and the idea of writing stories, but i actually never really do it on my own so having some sort of pressure to write is great. It also gives me a good reason to watch more movies. My current read is a book from Jane Austen, but considering i don’t even remember the name of the book, you can leave out the ‘current’ or ‘read’ part.
