What to Expect
Engage in a meaningful research project led by artist and researcher Dr Alex Martinis Roe, focusing on how histories of resistance, peace activism, and women's liberation are passed down through generations. This project offers a rare opportunity to contribute your stories or those of women connected to these movements.
Participants will take part in recorded interviews or conversations, usually lasting about an hour, conducted in person where possible. The project values your voice and ensures you have full control over how your contribution is represented.
This is a chance to be part of a creative and historical exploration that will culminate in films, exhibitions, publications, and educational resources, connecting personal histories to broader social movements.
Activity Details
The project combines recorded interviews, archival research, workshops, and artistic methods. It is particularly interested in daughters—by birth or close relationship—of women involved in resistance and liberation movements during and after WWII and anti-colonial struggles.
Participants will receive clear project information, consent forms, and topic lists beforehand, allowing time to consider and ask questions. You will also have the opportunity to review your contribution before public sharing.
The project welcomes community members, historians, archivists, artists, and activists who can contribute their experience or expertise.
