Inspired by personal experiences of living as a queer identified East Asian cis-female in cities under various stages of (post)coloniality and/or globalization since childhood, Amy Poon is the project facilitator, researcher, and also one of the contributors in Searching for Home: Self-Identity Wayfinding through Sensorial Insights, Time, and Memories. Currently a part-time masters student in the York-Ryerson Joint Graduate Program in Communication and Culture at York University, she hopes to use this project as an opportunity to explore visual/spatial representations of “home” together with the collaborators, and investigate the inter-influential relationships between “home” and intersectional identities. More details about Amy can be found at the bottom of her x-ref project page.
