Home is the Journey explores queer and non-binary gender identities in the Portuguese Diaspora and Portugal in this conversation with sexually fluid multimedia artist Teresa Ascenção and trans non-binary musician Moon Palmar of the punk rock band Bad Waitress. Teresa and Moon speak with Miguel and Gil discussing the lgbtq+ communities in Portuguese immigrant Canada, the Azores, and Portugal and how their work is informed by their identities and how their artistic production explores non-binary gender expression. Among the topics in the episode, their conversation covers (and critiques) Carnival as a space for queer and non-binary gender expression, explores Patriarchy in Portugal and immigrant contexts, and offers thoughts about the challenges to create inclusive spaces in Diaspora communities.
