How can film and performance be used to unearth and heal intergenerational trauma within family lineages?
In this episode of Doctoral Dialogues, we sit down with Songwon Han, a practice-led PhD researcher in the Westminster School of Arts. Songwon shares her deeply personal autoethnographical approach, which uses creative filmmaking, visual poetry, and ritualistic performance to explore mother-daughter relationships and her grandmother's survival through South Korea’s rapid modernisation. She reflects on the journey of clarifying her positionality as a South Korean woman researching in London, decolonising her creative thinking, and the joy of sharing these insights through live gallery exhibitions and collaborative research spaces.
