Presentation of “I had white cotton in my yard, I fed it, I watered it: A polyphony on femaleness and border geographies”. The project traces voice as a medium in the folklore tradition through a polyphonic topography of sound materiality. A double belonging between languages and cultures in the margins, offers ways of looking unto forms of “Souths” in Europe, gestures shaping an architecture of voices, and the hierarchical migration practices impacting the latter. Through singing sessions, recordings, interviews and the transcription and translation of text songs, the project explores how language and music are connected to the territory, to practices of migration and (un)mobility. Bodies are both archives and medium trajectories interrupted, but yet ongoing of preservation and activation. The project was realised within the framework of EMAP – European Media Art Platform and Residency Programme at Onassis Stegi.
