Intercountrians
The term intercountrian is a contra trem as a response to racialized labels such as “Black” or “White,” which often carry reductive or stigmatizing connotations when used to describe people of complex identities and cultural heritage. Intercountrian offers a more neutral, culturally focused alternative. – Adams Mensah
– An intercountrian is a person with two or more cultural backgrounds whose identity is shaped by the intersection of these cultures and/or countries – what I define as their intercountrinality. – Adams Mensah
In Intercountrians we follow four people from the African diaspora, who all live in a different continent (Europe, USA, Asia and Australia). All four have a different life story, but there is also something that connects them: none of them have ever set foot on the African continent. They decided to travel to Ghana for the first time in search of their roots and to experience what it feels like be in an African country. They want to know what “home” means to them and whether they feel more at home in a country where everyone looks like them, where they experience less racism and discrimination, and where they can finally feel like themselves.
