Because of What Is

 

BECAUSE OF WHAT IS

Lana is a DJ and activist who migrated from the Balkans to Vienna due to threads on their life for living openly queer. Pedra is a Brazilian non-binary performance artist and anthropologist whose ideas of Western culture provide new insights into the legacy of colonialism. Devorah is an US-American living in Vienna who is active online in spreading the ideas of intersectional feminism. They show us how they find joy, what they struggle with and what they seek to change in the world.
