Jasmine: Anywhere.
'Voices Interwoven' is a multidisciplinary documentary project speaking with 5 local Lancashire women and myself; all with connections to India to uncover personal and individual experiences of being connected to place.
Through video, photographs and the written word I sought to find what connects the women to place visually and through sensory experiences by integrating touch through fabric and sound through oral narratives. Each woman shares contrasting yet similar experiences of place and I invite you to connect with them as I have.
You fill find 6 sections for each woman involved ending with the final accumulation of the project as a 10 minute video. Within the fabric pieces on display you will find some photographs which have been transferred onto cotton and lit up by sunlight accompanying stitched photographs. The transferred images are invisible without light behind much like memory repressed before it is recalled. I prompt you to consider the working of a fading memory alongside more present experiences.
I invite you to ask yourself why you keep the objects you hold and how you feel about where you are or where you have been.

Very interesting piece Jasmine. I do believe it is the people we surround ourselves with who make a place and therefore a home and that seems evident in all the interviews. Well done. Look forward to the Indian perspective.
What a well presented exploration of place and people's connections to it. They all have different personalities yet similar experiences
This is such a great reflective, really interesting video! People who experience different cultures usually leave small pieces of their soul wherever they go, but the feeling of home can be wherever your chosen 'family' is.
