Queer Immigrant
xenophilia

Our intention when recording Queer Immigrant was an approach and an openness to what we could find by going to different migrant venues and businesses to record, and to see how these spaces and cultural universes could dialogue with the song of Queer Immigrant. A clear intention was not to fall into exotification or folklorisation of these places and people.

With this work we want to question and question the monocultural idea of the nation state, whose intention is to erase any trace of difference; even more so today with the constant attacks on the migrant and racialised population by the hate speeches of the racist ultra-right. Wanting to keep alive the memory that "migrating is not a crime", migrating is something that people have done constantly and for different reasons throughout history.
