Not My Grandmother’s Daughter

Not My Grandmother’s Daughter explores the relationship a young woman has with her mother through the relationship she has with her grandmother.

She interconnects the history of their hands through generations with the help of shadow and sound in this love letter through time.

After collecting her grandmother’s stories, she began to dream up a way to share her grandmother’s life and to better understand her own maternal relationship. Through the use of shadow puppetry, which has the ability to bend through space and time, life and death, she found her grandmother’s voice and her own.
