Domestic resistance 2017-2019
This series of work conveys domestic objects and the human narrative of displacement and in particular the struggle to establish a new home following conflict. This work was concerned with the social aspect of conflict as opposed to the political one. It examines the resilience of the domestic space and its necessity in the struggle to overcome displacement and begin again. Miriam Met and informally interviewed women who had been displaced by war. The women shared their stories of survival and objects that represented for them the creation of a new home following conflict. It is these personal objects that have become the testimonies to the female narrative of displacement.
