Breath, Memory & Materiality
Across Ireland | 2026
My Listening & Reading Groups create spaces for shared reflection, embodied storytelling, and intergenerational dialogue. In collaboration with Argentine Anthropologist, Documentary Photographer, Transdisciplinary Art Therapist, and Textile Artist, Melina Flaviana Di Fabrizio, we will facilitate Listening & Reading Groups across Ireland, engaging with transgenerational memory, migration, and maternal inheritance through text, breath, and material practices.
Drawing from Melina’s expertise in therapeutic photography, embroidery, and anthropology, these sessions will explore:
How maternal memory is inscribed onto the body, textile, and land—examining breath and materiality as vessels for intergenerational transmission.
Photo-embroidery and text as archives of care, absence, and inheritance, connecting feminist oral traditions to tactile and visual storytelling.
Silences within the maternal—how listening, breath, and shared reading create a collective space to work through inherited and embodied narratives.
These methodologies extend my research on the maternal as a site of transformation, bridging transnational feminist philosophy, embodied practice, and oral storytelling. Through these Ireland-based workshops, we will foster intergenerational dialogues on cultural transmission, shaping an approach that can be expanded into other geographies.
