“mother tongue” is a work where we call out to our maternal bodies. The work examines different practices that invite the body to feel beyond the possessive skin bound body and open to be in a relational kin-bound body. While building an intuitive relation with what the body carries, we work with tracing our memories and finding our deep songs. One after the other following through the many waves, we are mothering and raising our inner processes.
