AWATE says. "'Displaced' is my ode to my estate, Maiden Lane before they tear it all down. I'm a refugee and wanted to show how it felt growing up in the estate, being chased and told I was an alien. The suit was inspired by Afronauts and Power Rangers and the intro was a reference to Mr. Bean. The backstory is that the version of Eritrea that my parents struggled for, that never was, actually existed on another planet. That's where my papers come from." AWATE will be on tour around the UK with Lowkey in September and opening for Black Star in London on 20 October. Taken from the Shine Ancient EP. Producer: Turkish Director: Saoud Khalaf Costume: Florence Hendriks
