Ema Shin is a Melbourne based multi-disciplinary visual artist who was born in Niigata Japan. Her heritage is both Japanese and Korean and her art is influenced by both cultures and the family stories that have been woven together from that experience.

Her latest exhibition at Gallerysmith in Melbourne, is about acknowledging the 'daughters' in her Korean lineage whose names were never recorded on her family tree.

It is a fascinating conversation and I learnt much about both the Japanese and Korean culture through Ema.

I hope you enjoy the episode.
