Burta Qollective


Burta is a food-loving duo formed in late 2024 by Ioana Lupascu and Jiye Seong-Yu. The collaboration began with a contribution to The Spoon, a community newspaper by Soupspoon Collective (Rotterdam).

Burta means “belly” in Romanian, while Bureu-da: ‘to feel full’ in South Korean, a linguistic coincidence that holds our shared

interest in politics, language, and being abroad.

First publication: The Case of the Suitcase. 2025. Supported by Riso and Friends residency in Rijeka, Croatia (Nov - Dec 2025)
