A New Discovery: Queer Immigration in Perspective

Overview

Throughout the narrative, viewers are presented with the political struggles of the queer and immigrant population from an intersectional perspective, showing how they relate to each other in the public sphere by confronting, challenging and transforming the state mechanisms that control borders and bodies in the United States, from a more inclusive perspective. Interwoven with this narrative is A Timeline of Queer Migrations (fanzine published on the occasion of the event, tracing a history of queer migration from the "discovery" of America to the present day), which offers a perspective on key events in the history of queer migration, with a focus on legal and cultural aspects in the United States.
