Carrying the Nest: (Re)writing History Through Embodied Research
Nilüfer Ovalıoğlu Gros · 2019
Catalogue summary
An embodied video performance links meditation, pregnancy, a Mardin stone house, women’s genocide experience, and Armenian diaspora sonorities in France through chants, lullabies, testimony, and lament.
Why this matters
By treating carrying as both bodily condition and exile, the project joins gendered memory to the sonic afterlife of Armenian displacement from southeast Anatolia.
