Poh Lin Lee
At the heart of my practice I’m committed to non-extractive and decolonial approaches to engaging with lived experience, whether this be in therapeutic, community or creative processes. I have created a unique practice from my multiple locations and experience - narrative therapy practitioner, social worker, co-researcher of trauma/displacement, writer, teacher, film protagonist and film/creative consultant. Before this my practice was mainly co-researching with people and communities responding to family and state violence, displacement (from rights, land, home, body, identity, relationships) and navigating the in-between, the liminal spaces in experience and location.
I’ve been in a cross-discipline creative collaboration with filmmaker Gabrielle Brady for over a decade. As well as the films Island of the Hungry Ghosts (2018) and Wolves Always Come at Night (2024) I’ve consulted on 20+ films, theatre, writing and research projects.
