Bradley talks with Busy Being Black host Joshua Rivers about identity, belonging and who gets to be European. From Blackness and queerness to art, poetry and the “right to opacity,” they explore what happens when the labels that help define us also begin to constrain us. Eurovision performances from Milly Scott, Jeangu Macrooy and Conchita Wurst become jumping-off points for conversations about representation, migration and Europe’s changing sense of itself.
