We're back with Season 2 of Queer(y)ing Asylum! In this episode, we dive into the topic of Queer South-to-South asylum and migration, focusing on Venezuelan LGBTIQ+ people in Colombia and Brazil. Our guest, Tyler Valiquette, shares his insights into how gender and sexuality shape the migration and asylum decisions of queer Venezuelans, and the unique challenges they face in Brazil and Colombia. Tyler's current research can be found here.

We explore the responses of local organisations and governments to this crisis, compare the humanitarian efforts in both countries, and discuss how queer spaces in urban centres like São Paulo and Bogotá differ from those in border cities such as Cúcuta and Boa Vista.

Tyler also shares his observations on the impact of the Venezuelan election on migration trends and reflects on the hopes for the future among queer Venezuelan refugees in the region.

Tune in for an insightful discussion and stay connected for more episodes this season!
