2024 UCA Research Student Conference Discover: Journey + Destination

I am so excited to announce that I have been selected to share my PhD research at the upcoming PhD Student Conference in Canterbury. I will be presenting my paper titled Migrant Women: Stories of Movement which inserts women’s voices into discourse surrounding transnationality as well as investigating how women’s experiences of migration can be uniquely transcribed using alternative photographic processes such as film soup, soil chromatography, and photograms. Examples are drawn from four case studies including the work of María Martínez-Cañas, Odette England, Izabela Pluta, and Dafna Talmor. From more specific themes of place attachment, memory, and constructed landscapes these artists demonstrate the lived experience of migrant women. 

The conference will be held in the Gallery on level one at the Doctoral College on 13 June 2024.
