Peilin is a (re)emerging wanderer who looks at entanglements. Drawn by her Hakka heritage, transcontinental relocation and global mythologies, she explores values, and survival strategies through stories.
She interprets storytelling as a way of reconnecting our circumstances as part of a larger, evolving organism/. Through this placement, Peilin hopes to explore how stories are told, shared, and lived in contemporary Scotland—across languages, communities, and mediums. Peilin will focus on humanising historical contexts through shared emotional textures—meanings and coexistence of loss/grief and joy/hope, with humour. She is particularly interested in multilingual storytelling, while uncovering both resonances and divergences in stories from various roots.
