ABOUT
JOANNA
“In 2017, I faced breast cancer and discovered I carried a high-risk breast cancer gene, PALB2. Just as I was considering a preventative mastectomy, a second breast cancer diagnosis came in 2020.
Cancer can be incredibly traumatic, but more of us are surviving. We need more stories of recovery to guide us in integrating these experiences into our lives.
I'm committed to creating space for dialogue about challenging topics—where we can listen, understand, and empathise.”
Joanna is an artist filmmaker and a Professor of Filmmaking at the University of Sussex.
