Looking to the enduring cultural connections between New Orleans, the Caribbean and Africa, "We Outside" explores transatlantic masquerade and processional traditions as pathways to collective love and liberation in the face of state, sexual and racial oppression. The people we come to know through these films take their churning emotions and histories and externalize them—loudly, proudly—by taking to the streets en masse, adorning themselves in elaborate costumes, or both. Presented in collaboration with Prospect New Orleans and Third Horizon Film Festival.

The idea behind this music video is based on a Congolese wedding tradition, where a couple stands in front of a vegetal installation, a Pygmy tradition.
