A film consisting of interviews with seven artists who live in the Basque Country, identify as LGBTQ+ and are marked by different histories of migration. The project focuses on the intersections between queerness, artistic practices, and migrancy to create discourse on these issues in the Basque context and to break with linear and simplifying imaginations of belonging, be it in terms of gender, sexuality or geo-political territories.

2021

Movie

A visual essay which investigates the spaces of images, departing from a photo taken on the beach of Azkorri (Basque Country). Questioning how a change of perspective might alter the sensibility towards an image, the video evolves around positioning a gesture encountered in the movie Még kér a nép (Red Psalm, 1972). The director subsequently encounters this gesture in a photograph of Russian LGBTQIA+ activist Yelena Grigoryeva. She explores that particular symbol by drawing lines to her own queer sexuality, to the aesthetic representation of communism, as well as to questions of dispossession and appropriation.
