MPC — Main Playable Character — is an
editorial platform exploring culture through
art, identity, sound and storytelling.
Sample 001, The Power of Migration, started from a curiosity
around how much value migration actually brings to society.
The name of the entire platform originated from thinking about
sampling music, and how much this actually looks like how
culture moves and expands. How identity, music, memory and
history constantly move between people and places. How we
are all shaped by fragments, references, and experiences that
existed before us.
The shoulders we’re standing on.
A lot of the people shaping cultural movements today are often the ones existing in between languages, histories, environments and identities. Yet so much of the conversation around migration still focuses almost exclusively on struggle, crisis or integration. Those conversations are important, but I also wanted to be part of creating space for other perspectives. What does migration make possible creatively, emotionally and culturally? What kind of understanding, emotional depth and perspective comes from navigating multiple realities at once? In many ways, this publication really isn’t much about defining identity, but more about listening to how people already describe themselves and their own character. This is the continuation of an already existing conversation amongst people of color, the diaspora, nomads and migrants. If you know you know. If not, then welcome to our world, and welcome to the conversation.
Much appreciation and love to my mom, for making her way to Denmark from Nigeria, dreaming about a better life for herself and her children. And thanks to my dad for supporting her on that journey.
