Poh Lin Lee
I’m interested in cultivating non-extractive and decolonial approaches to engaging with lived experience, whether this be in therapeutic, community or creative practices. I learnt the craft of narrative therapy with people and communities experiencing family and state violence, displacement (from rights, land, home, body, identity, relationships), and traversing the in-between spaces of place, identity, status and experience. Practising at the intersection of narrative therapy and film grew from a long standing collaboration with Gabrielle Brady on the award winning film Island of the Hungry Ghosts (2018) and The Wolves Always Come at Night (2024). These days I continue to weave these different practices and fields to create experiential workshops and consultations.
