Area of expertise
Patricia is a filmmaker and researcher. Her art documentaries offer a means of re-imagining narratives that have been constructed around a patriarchal and/or colonial lens. She endeavours to offer an alternative means of facilitating marginalised and oppressed voices.
Patricia's current research speaks to the politics of ‘voice’ as both an aural and material representation of the subjective self. She is interested in exploring how documentary making tools can be used to create an audio-visual language that articulates the visualisation of silenced voices (marginalised and women's).
Patricia's research interest inludes correcting the exclusion of women and marginalised voices from cultural spaces, and in facilitating their presence in social political and economic spheres and cnsiderations, where they are often absent.
Patricia is co-convenor of the Radical Film Network (RFN).
