With the release of the album Travesti Biológica, artist Mavi Veloso will release a new bombastic music video every Friday on ArtsEverywhere. The videos comprise a visual album focusing on Mavi’s personal stories as a travesti migrating from Brazil to Europe. The videos draw on stories of the diaspora of trans women who migrated for reasons of oppression and survival, and the need to discover new horizons.
Travesti Biológica was performed and produced by Mavi Veloso, in collaboration with Urubu Marinka, Salisme, and Fitgirl. Her creative direction was in collaboration with Pauli Scharlach and executive production by BicudaRec.
