[Euromixproject.rch] Release of the documentary MIXED VOICES

[Dan Rodriguez Garcia]

Dear colleagues and friends,

I hope that you are all doing well.

It is my pleasure to share with you the release of the documentary MIXED VOICES<https://youtu.be/RYHKCaERcFs>(https://youtu.be/RYHKCaERcFs), produced by the INMIX-UAB Research Group on Immigration, Mixedness, and Social Cohesion, which is now celebrating its 10th anniversary.

This topical short documentary features interviews with multiethnic and multiracial youth living in Catalonia, Spain, who talk about their mixed heritage and its meaning for them, their identity and sense of belonging, and their experiences of discrimination and agency. Through these narratives, MIXED VOICES reveals that the positive, empowering experiences of mixedness—a growing reality in Spain as well as across the globe—can coexist with negative stereotypes and prejudices and the continued stigmatization and discrimination of racialized groups, who are more constrained in their identity options. In this way, the documentary highlights the socially transformative aspects of mixedness while alerting us to persistent social divisions that hinder social inclusion and cohesion.

MIXED VOICES was produced as part of the MIXED-YOUTH Research Project (“Social Relations and Identity Processes of Children of Mixed Unions: Mixedness—Between Inclusion and Social Constraints,” CSO2015-63962-R), for which a total of 152 Spanish-born individuals from very diverse ancestries were interviewed.
