Her Story is an autobiographical project about domestic labour refracted through three generations of one family in China. It proposes the shared experience of the kitchen as a site to resist problematic masculinities, exploring how the kitchen might be transformed from a private site of oppression to a shared space of discussion, refusal, and repair.  

The film is a 24-hour overlay of three kitchens, collapsing geographic boundaries from London to Wenzhen in which three generations of Chinese women cook and speak about their everyday lives, raising awareness about gendered domestic labour. 

A set of interventions performed across London invite the public into the project, making public these private lives and experiences, engaging the audience’s five senses. They witness this footage overlayed with fragments from telephone conversations, photos from albums and personal memories, creating a space for reflection on the role of women in Chinese homes, families, and societies.

Her Story is situated within a body of feminist artistic practice that challenges patriarchal systems and amplifies private memories.
