Josephine Turalba

Josephine Turalba is a Filipina interdisciplinary artist, PhD candidate in Studio Art at Burren College of Art, University of Galway, and Director of the Artistic Research Center at Philippine Women’s University. Her practice-based research develops speculative, hydrofeminist approaches that use play as a critical method to engage with trauma, power, and minor epistemologies. Grounded in situated knowledge and lived experience, her work explores how artistic research can open alternative ways of sensing, narrating, and understanding sociopolitical realities in the West Philippine Sea.
