Mina Hava, born 1998, is a Swiss writer. She works at gta exhibitions, ETH Zurich, and is currently working on her new novel Heilen (provisional title), exploring the condition of not knowing love and it's accompanying emotions such as grief and shame.

“I came to theory because I was hurting – the pain within me was so intense that I could not go on living. I came to theory desperate, wanting to comprehend – to grasp what was happening around and

within me. Most importantly, I wanted to make the hurt go away. I saw in theory then a location for healing.“ (Theory as Liberatory Practice by bell hooks)
