Ceci Gheghi Writing Group
February ‘25
Rotterdam-based writing group for diasporic voices from Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Through themed sessions, we explore memory, place, and language shaped by migration, the diasporic experience, and cultural hybridity. Each session departs from a sensory or spatial theme—flavours, interiors, non-stop shops—to prompt reflection and creative experimentation. Rooted in collective storytelling, we create a space where personal histories, overlooked rituals, and untranslatable emotions become the fabric of new narratives.
*The name comes from Romanian phonetics—"ce, ci, ghe, ghi"—sounds that mark difference, mistranslation, and the small linguistic frictions that shape identity. Like these sounds, our writing exists in the in-between: between languages, homelands, and selves.
