"A woman unravels how three generations in her family have been affected by intergenerational trauma starting with colonialism using animation, archival and found footage and then explores what intergenerational healing means."
Director Neha Gautam commissioned a poster with a combination of faces and maps to visualize this personal history of identity and redemption. The faces derive from actual photographs of her family. They are of her grandmother, mother, and herself. They are grouped, desaturated, and centered to symbolize the familial, historic, and non-linear intersections of exploring the past. Marigold flowers are significant to Indian tradition and used to both visually support and ground cultural significance for the image. The pre-partition map of India floats in a starry space to symbolize the infinite possibilities of memories and futures. The rays emanating from and/or into the center represent the illumination that symbolically enters wounds or emits from their healing.
