Issue 1— 2023
Josie Anne Gaitens, Culture Editor
Josie is an arts worker, musician and writer from the Scottish Highlands. She was once
erroneously referred to as the Queen of Scotland by a Malaysian newspaper and has been
falsely using that title ever since.
Iryna Zubenko, Journalist
Iryna is a Ukrainian who has been working on the cross-section of media and technology
for the past five years. While still figuring out what to do in life, Iryna’s love for travelling,
unspoiled nature and Scandi design has brought her to Reykjavík. One day she’ll write
a non-fiction book.
Rex Beckett, Contributor
Rex has been a fixture in the Reykjavík culture scene for over a decade as a longtime
music/art journalist and as former synthpunk diva Rex Pistols. They are currently work-
ing on a series delving into the influence of Garfield on queer millennials. Their car is
named Renegade.
Catherine Magnúsdóttir, Contributor
Catherine studies social sciences in Germany and came to the Grapevine for the intern-
ship mandated by said studies — and for fun, of course — before sticking around as a
contributor. When she’s not trying to reconnect with her Icelandic roots, she’s usually
watching video essays or attempting to finally come up with that one good story idea that
she can actually finish writing.
Lea Dörschel, Contributor
Lea is a 23-year-old German transplant living in Reykjavík. Five years ago, she left every-
thing behind to move to Iceland, where she fell in love with the nature and the possibility
for adventure. Besides travelling, one of Lea’s biggest passions is photography and you'll
never find her out and about without her camera.
Kim Wagenaar, Listings
She’s been here long enough to forget why she even got here in the first place. If she’s not
busy being a music manager, she’s accidentally bumping into things or drinking bubbles
somewhere laughing at her own jokes. Someone’s gotta do it.
