Brian Chikwava & Alana S Portero: Becoming Who We Are

The paths we take to become who we are can separate us widely from our roots. In Alana S Portero's Bad Habit, a nameless trans woman from working-class Madrid finds community in the city's colourful underbelly. In Brian Chikwava's Shamiso, the titular character leaves Zimbabwe for Brighton, falling in love with genderfluid Georgie. Hear the authors discuss their propulsive portraits with Jess Brough in a conversation that will leave your heart and mind blazing.
