Research title: Self-presentation of a Ukrainian Refugee Family in Social Media: A Journey of Exploration with Documentary Filmmaking
Research Summary
I am particularly fascinated by documentary research and individual storytelling, especially through the practical exploration of voices marginalized by society—those who are displaced and individuals facing significant life challenges.
My current research focuses on refugee groups, particularly on how they use social media to shape their own stories and identities. Through the exploration of reflexive documentary, I hope to grow alongside the subjects of my films, bringing to light and understanding these important yet overlooked stories.
