Huguette

“When I was made visible, I had to leave everything, I was threatened with death.”

© Camille Charpigny

Huguette is 23 years old and comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Made visible by her girlfriend’s father, Huguette is threatened with death. Arrested and locked up for three days in a room with no light, she has to leave her country in a hurry, leaving everything behind.

She travels to Turkey and then Greece before arriving in France in 2020, where she seeks asylum.

Huguette wants to train to become a firefighter.

Huguette is proud of who she is.

Rainbow Welcome! visual universe

Rainbow Welcome! visual identity has been developed by Alison Roger France, in collaboration with PLS and all the partners. 

She studied the complexity of sexuality, sexual orientations, genders, gender expressions, identities, sexual characteristics, fluidity between the various spectrums, etc. She also adopted a reflective creation process including refugees’ journey in life and on earth to finally come with those organic forms whose nasting, movements and textures aim at illustrating the multiplicity and complexity of each and all individuals. Of course, the colours of the LGBTIQ+ flag have been used. The whole is wanted to be dynamic, intriguing and … positive. Our message is the one of reception and inclusion, as stated in our motto “Rainbow refugees, WELCOME!”.

El universo visual de Rainbow Welcome!

La identidad visual de Rainbow Welcome! ha sido desarrollada por Alison Roger France, en colaboración con PLS y todos los socios.

Estudió la complejidad de la sexualidad, las orientaciones sexuales, los géneros, las expresiones de género, las identidades, las características sexuales, la fluidez entre los distintos espectros, etc. También adoptó un proceso de creación reflexivo que incluía el viaje de los refugiados en la vida y en la tierra para llegar finalmente a esas formas orgánicas cuyos nidos, movimientos y texturas pretenden ilustrar la multiplicidad y la complejidad de todos y cada uno de los individuos. Por supuesto, se han utilizado los colores de la bandera LGBTIQ+. El conjunto quiere ser dinámico, intrigante y… positivo. Nuestro mensaje es el de la acogida y la inclusión, como reza nuestro lema « Rainbow Refugiados, ¡BIENVENIDOS!».
