Arra Foncesca and Adolf Ximenes collaborate closely in their roles, contributing to both KORIS and CODIVA, where they play vital parts in promoting human rights and artistic expression for the LGBTIQ+ community in Timor-Leste. Arra serves as a consultant at KORIS, where they provide strategic guidance and support for the organization's initiatives, ensuring that the artistic and advocacy programs align with the mission of inclusivity and creative empowerment.
Meanwhile, Adolf holds the role of Media Officer at CODIVA, overseeing communication strategies that amplify the voices of marginalized communities. Additionally, as a Zine Assistant at KORIS ZINE, Adolf works hands-on to create and distribute the zine, which serves as both an artistic platform and a tool for social change. Together, their combined expertise and passion for promoting diversity, creativity, and human rights strengthen KORIS's vision as a community space for storytelling and connection.
KORIS, short for Komunidade Ransu ho Istoria (Community Hanging Out and Telling Stories), is the artistic arm of CODIVA (Coalition for Diversity and Action), an organization dedicated to protecting and advocating for human rights, with a focus on the LGBTIQ+ community. The zine produced by KORIS gives a voice to these individuals, preserving their stories while fostering an environment of solidarity and creative expression.
