In this clip, Shazia Hafiz Ramji delves deeper into her inspirations for Port of Being. She explains that "Flags of Convenience" are flags of poor countries flown on corporate shipping vessels that allow these corporate ships to avoid certain fees, depending on where they port. This is contrasted with the reality that immigrants from the countries of those convenience flags are not readily accepted or welcomed into Western countries. Ramji ends by discussing how Foucault's concept of heterotopia impacted her understandings of the issues she grapples with in Port of Being.
