Newly designed Italian trade paperback editions of  DREAMS OF TRESPASS and SCHEHERAZADE GOES WEST to be featured  in Giunti's prestigious Il Chiocciole collection, edited and with new introductions by their original editor, Roberta Mazzanti. Due 2023.

Two new bridges were inaugurated and opened to pedestrians and cyclists on 6 September, 2021 in Belgium connecting the municipality of Molenbeek to the city of Brussels. They bear the names of exceptional women: Fatema Mernissi for the gateway on the Porte de Ninove side and Loredana Marchi for the one near the Comte de Flandre station.

The opening ceremony, which included concerts, acrobatic acts and an inauguration procession, was attended by the Mayors of Brussels and Molenbeek, Philippe Close and Catherine Moureaux, as well as Brussels' Minister for Mobility and Public Works, Elke Van den Brandt, and the Federal Minister responsible for Beliris, Karine Lalieux.

The Fatima Mernissi bridge is adorned by artwork from Belgian duo Mon Colonel & Spit which is designed to raise awareness about pollution and care for the environment‎. An eel stretches out along the outside of the bridge while on the inside, a message in both French and Dutch, reads: “Not only the eel returns to the sea. The canal is life. Respect it”. Artistic depictions of rubbish painted by the duo surround the text.
