About this Event
Ffotogallery launched the Feminist Library last October 2024 during Ffoto Cymru, our International Photography Festival.
The Feminist Library is a space to listen, learn and discuss ideas.
We would like to thank the Paul Mellon Centre , whose generous funding has enabled us to continue these sessions.
These events are open to the public, free to attend and will be hosted monthly from July 2025 - January 2026

About:
Chrisyl Wong-Hang-Sun is a PhD researcher in Social Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh (UoE), researching coconut plantations in the dependent islands of Mauritius, with support from an AHRC scholarship from the Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities. She is also a fellow of the Stuart Hall Foundation. Her research interests include plantation labour, human/nonhuman relations, multispecies and poetic research methods, and the ethnography of the Republic of Mauritius and its dependent islands.
Session details:
Chrisyl will present a talk on how she has used and will continue to use poetry and poetic research methods to supplement her ethnographic research and writing. Drawing on the work of feminist anthropologist Ruth Behar and Lila Abu-Lughod, intersectional feminist writer and poet Audre Lorde, and historian Saidiya Hartman, Chrisyl will examine knowledge cultivation through the interplay of research, imagination, and emotions. After the talk, Chrisyl will lead a workshop on ethnographic note -taking and sensual and embodied ethnography, encouraging guests to begin creative writing with these approaches.
