Elias Bučko (JÁDU) is a journalist from Slovakia, currently based in Czechia. He completed a Master’s degree in Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam, followed by his work as a cultural writer at Framer Framed. His writing often delves into topics of art, migration, and explores the plurality of queer and trans* experiences across shifting political landscapes. Previously, he has published his articles in the Slovak independent portal Kapitál and Dutch cultural web publication Framer Framed.
Moving between Slovakia, Czechia, and the Netherlands, Elias deploys a transnational perspective in his work: he is currently developing a reportage about Polish supermarkets in the Netherlands as spaces of connection and post-socialist cultural memory. His second piece focuses on the experiences of queer and trans* people growing up or living in small towns and rural areas in Slovakia.
