about the project.

Antoni’s project focused on voice, story, and memory. Recently a mother, Antoni had been questioning the way she raised her three-year-old daughter in relation to the way her mother raised her. She invited mothers belonging to the Hudson Guild Senior Center to advise her on how to be a good parent. Antoni recorded them telling their stories and singing lullabies they learned from their mothers. She recorded herself and her daughter singing as well. In the final sound and video installation, all the voices blend together to honor and celebrate the role of all mothers.
