Ege Dündar worked with PEN International for 8 years, before being elected its youngest board member in a 100 year history. There, he worked with colleagues and mentors at various roles to support writers at risk. Most recently he has been leading efforts to organise with colleagues from 62 countries to create „the Young Writers Committee“ setting up the platform Tomorrow Club –www.tomorrowclub.world– for connecting and amplifying brave young voices across borders.

His debut poetry collection “All These Things Aren’t Really Lost” was published in 2022 from which a poem featured in the anthology „Best New British and Irish Poets 2019-2021“ He wrote for outlets such as Milliyet Daily, Index on Censorship, Daily Mirror, PEN Transmissions, Bosla Arts, Counterpoints Arts and Mentour Magazine. He produced a report on the State of Exile Media in Europe for Körber Stiftung in Germany and worked as a researcher on Artistic Freedom for Free Muse / UNESCO.

The fable book, Duvar (The Wall) was written with his dad, Can Dündar, a journalist unlawfully arrested in Turkey in 2015. Although he was released by a Supreme court decision, facing a shooter outside the courthouse and illegal confiscations of assets and passports, the family were eventually forced to leave the country.
