Queer Migrant Takeover
2018
The Queer Migrant Takeover Party
After being scapegoated across the UK both systemically and on our streets, with borders closing and migrants being demonised, we thought it was time to give our migrant friends a platform and throw a party!
Queer Migrant Takeover celebrated everything wonderful and diverse migrants bring to the UK, with DJ sets, shows, and installations, by local migrant artists, as a celebration of multi-culturalism, national identity and above all, our migrant communities.
Together we dance!
Produced by Xavier de Souza & Roni Guetta
