Lizan’s work combines various crafts to express herself and practice her profound interest in social justice. She sings, she writes, she creates. Underpinned by a firm belief in (human) connection to self and others, cross-cultural empathy and listening.
In June 2023, she released her single “Human Race” (on Spotify here) together with Mpanzu Bamenga - an anthem for hope and social change. In September 2024, her second single “Baby be soft” will be released. More information on Lizan’s musical work and collaborations can be found under “music”.
As a freelance writer (Dutch and English) she has written for — among others — Foreign Policy, CBC, De Correspondent and VICE. You can access her written work under “publications”. Lizan regularly teaches courses at the University of Amsterdam’s PPLE college (Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics) in social justice.
