UndocuQueer visual artist Julio Salgado talks with CultureStrike founder Favianna Rodriguez about coming out as queer and undocumented, reclaiming immigrant narratives and honoring the courage of migrant parents in his art. He raises the critical role of intersectional storytelling in this 2012 event filmed at La Peña Cultural Center in Berkeley, California, sharing how he flips the script on criminalizing migrant journeys to "We are here because our parents are responsible and courageous."
