morgxn: home
Alternative pop, drag queens, and elaborate choreography? Sign me up and in florescent fashion. Sorry if the comparison is too easy but morgxn's music video for "home" is like a modern day ode to the 'Paris Is Burning' documentary. Equally grandiose but cut from the same chiffon providing a sense of community and support for the flamboyant and often socially shunned performers.
“Belonging is not something handed to you, it’s something you must claim for yourself. It’s taken me my whole life to decide that the need to belong only matters internally. Trying to fit in is not the same as belonging, sometimes home is found not at home. Matthew - the boy at the center of this story - reminded me of what “belonging” really means. His cousin, Vivika Westwood Mugler, the Empress of The Iconic House of Miyake-Mugler, leads the vogueing house in the video. Shooting this video felt more like a documentary than anything else. To belong is our right... you just gotta claim it.”
