In recent years, there has been an intensification in scholarly attention towards gender stereotype disparities. This practice-led research project asks: How can image-making and non-linear storytelling structures be employed to express cultural experiences of the self in regard to women’s constraints in Vietnamese society? Drawing from heuristic enquiry and auto-ethnography methodology, it utilises the researcher’s memories and experiences as a basis to create a non-linear illustrated narrative artwork titled Đàn Bà. While the focus is on gender context in Vietnam, the project recognises the universal relevance and their prevalence across cultures. By tapping into these contemporary discourses and employing visual mediums, the project seeks to contribute a perspective to the ongoing conversation about gender inequality and the role of visual communication in addressing societal issues.
