Overview
Migrant Talks #ALLMIGRANTS is a conversational video series exploring migration as lived experience rather than policy. Created under FIELDS MAG / Subtile Global, the series spotlights artists, activists, thinkers, and everyday citizens whose identities are shaped by movement, across borders, languages, cultures, and histories.
Each episode is an intimate portrait, part archive and part testimony, capturing the subtle realities of being “from elsewhere” while building a life “from here.”
What We Did
We produced a multi-episode visual series filmed across Europe, Africa, and the diaspora. Our work included:
Curating guests from diverse migrant journeys: artists, refugees, third-culture professionals, cultural workers
Conducting recorded interviews in English and French
Shaping narrative arcs around identity, belonging, creativity, and displacement
Producing, filming, and editing each episode for digital platforms
Establishing #AllMigrants as a unifying theme linking individual stories to a wider human narrative
The result is a documentary-style archive capturing how migration shapes imagination, resilience, and cultural production.
