Profile
My practice-based research explores an essayistic filmmaking methodology about, by, and for women through the metaphor of weaving, centering on the framework of family in contemporary China. I aim to weave family archives, amateur footage, and embodied ethnography, seeing weaving cinema as a dynamic and haptic rewriting of matrilineal memory.
I hold an MFA from the School of Arts, Peking University, and an MRes from the Department of Visual Cultures, Goldsmiths, University of London. Before beginning my PhD journey, I worked as a non-fiction and experimental filmmaker and spent several years working with film media and festivals in China.
