In the second episode of Amplifying Her Story, Brazilian multidisciplinary artist Gabz, aka Gabriela, reflects on migration, identity, belonging and the power of art and music to keep us connected to our roots.
What role can art play in helping us hold onto our identity when we migrate?
In this episode of Amplifying Her Story, Migrant Women Press speaks with Brazilian multidisciplinary artist, creative consultant and cultural producer Gabz, aka Gabriela, who is based in Bristol, UK.
The conversation revisits Gabriela’s article, “The power of art in keeping our identity alive,” originally published by Migrant Women Press in 2021.
In the article, Gabriela wrote about the experience of starting again in a new country and how music and art helped her reconnect with memories, culture and her sense of self.
Five years later, we return to that conversation to hear more about her journey and reflect on migration, creativity, identity and belonging.
