'Disidentification is about recycling and rethinking encoded meaning. The process of disidentification scrambles and reconstructs the encoded message of a cultural text in a fashion that both exposes the encoded message’s universalizing and exclusionary machinations and recircuits its workings to account for, include, and empower minority identities and identifications. Thus, disidentification is a step further than cracking open the code of the majority; it proceeds to use this code as raw material for representing a disempowered politics or positionality that has been rendered unthinkable by the dominant culture.' - José Esteban Muñoz in Disidentifications: Queers of Color and the Performance of Politics

Magazine ideas
For my part of the magazine i decided to create a visual/textual archive of the afro and write a poem about Nigeria.
Afro archive
Me and Tida were talking about our hair and we felt that afros hold so much power and we wanted to honour them in some way. Especially because the both of us went through quite a journey accepting our hair.
Poem about Nigeria
With the group we were talking about how it felt to think back to foods/sound/smells for our countries and that they are often indescribable, but when you're back you emediately notice it again. Since I want to Nigeria once, when I was 6 months old, I felt I didn't share their feelings. It made me feel how I often feel around diasporans. I don't know what it's really like. I have a lot of fantasies but I will never understand my groups experience, until I go myself. So then I decided that I'm going to write a poem about what I imagine Nigeria to be like and that feeling of missing a place i've never experienced.

Galdem magazine
gal-dem is an annual English magazine dedicated to women and non-binary people of color. It was founded in 2015 by a young university student tired of the prejudices within the university. The first edition, printed in 1000 copies, sold out in a very short time, from there the story of gal-dem is that of a success in being a point of reference for an audience that sought to share their story in a world of prejudices.
gal-dem is about minority, culture, politics and social prejudices. It collects interviews and stories of women and non-binary people of color who find in its pages a solid tool of awareness.
