In Living Memory

Shadé Joseph | 2025 | UK | 13′ | Audio

There’s only so long you can ignore something knocking on your heart. Eventually you’ve got to listen, or it will find its way in. Until then you “get on with things” until you just can’t anymore. It took Shadé almost a lifetime before she surrendered to the knocking of her eldest brother Zeon, who died 17 years before she was born. In Living Memory is a voice message to Zeon, filling him in on conversations she never thought would have, and it is also a thank you for being a legacy in which all the children in her family exist.

Shorn Women

Chloe Turpin | 2025 | UK | Episodic – total runtime 39′ | Audio

At the end of WWII, around 20,000 women across France were accused of ‘horizontal collaboration’. Their alleged crime: sleeping with German soldiers. And their punishment was having their heads shaved and facing a public beating.

Chloe’s grand-mother’s Émilienne was one of the shorn women of French liberation. Like many others at the time, her story was always shrouded in shame and mystery. Through conversations with family members in Brittany and a trawl through the French National Archives, the series looks at this controversial and overlooked historical event through the lens of gender and transgenerational trauma.
