Living with Upheaval: LGBTQ+ Asylum Seekers Performance, Healing, and Political Praxis
This article features excerpts from a joint interview between Dr. Anna Winget, a U.S. collaborator on the "Crossing Pride Project," and Ronah Ainembabazi, a Community Advisory Board member in Sweden. It explores key insights gained through the project, emphasizing the importance of Queer Migration Studies that center embodied experiences and community-based creative collaboration. Funded by the University of California Humanities Research Institute under the theme "living through upheaval," the article argues that upheaval is a constant condition of violence and disruption for LGBTQ+ refugees and migrants, shaping their lived realities in profound ways.
