Mentoring support provided by Sarah Mashman. Special thanks to Julia Drouhin and Second Echo Ensemble.

This piece was produced as part of our 2021-2022 Signal Boost interview series, where participants responded to the theme of 'Time Travel'.

Time Travel: Lady of the Dog by Elise Romaszko

“I think justice would look like a proper collaborative effort on behalf of not just the Korean lawyers, the TRC, Korean scholars, Korean adoptee communities but also broader Korean society.”

 Imagine knowing of records, written about you, that could change your life — but are not yours to access.

Since the end of the Korean War, over 200 000 South Korean babies and children have been adopted overseas under one of the largest and longest running intercountry adoption programs in the world. Many of these adoptees are asking questions about the systems and practices that have shaped the course of their lives. 

In this two part series, Signal Boost Participant Kelly Bartholomeusz interrogates the issue of Korean intercountry adoption.

Mentoring support provided by Karishma Luthria. 

Sound sourced from Eat! Be Mary! on YouTube. Music is Astronaut by Elm Lake (from Epidemic Sound).

This piece was produced as part of our 2023 Signal Boost feature series, where participants were free to create a piece about anything that interested them in a style of their choosing.
