Since 2018, they have been documenting the LGBTQIA+ community. They've founded "The Queer Talks," a project and platform dedicated to telling the stories of the LGBTQIA+ community in an unbiased manner.
How do we navigate our identities? What's the best way to tell a story while preserving the subject's authenticity? What is gender identity, and how do we deal with it? How do societal norms, politics, common beliefs, prejudices, hate, lust, and love impact our self-perception and our relationships with others? These are the questions that drive Clotilde’s work and research.
