Alex Hai, from Algerian and German decent, resides in Venice, Italy and the first transgender gondolier in history, is also a trilingual writer and filmmaker. After studying visual communication in Hamburg, Hai expanded his creative work into poetry.

In 2020, Hai wrote for the Emmy-nominated interactive program ‘When We Stayed Home' for Targo Oculus, which focused on Venice during the pandemic.
Now living in exile due to transphobic harassment, Hai's work continues to reflect his unique experiences, with writings in German, English, and Italian.
