Togetherness

Here is a short piece I made using interviews with my parents and grandparents.

The soundtrack was created using audio from the interviews, my voice, and some of my favourite drum sounds.

This project was commissioned by Arts at the Old Fire Station, it allowed me to communicate with my family in Iran exploring the impact of being diaspora in England and losing connection with culture, language and family lineage. I asked them about what their biggest losses have been and what their fondest memories are.

The underlying theme is togetherness- that longing to slow down and just be present with one another.

Thanks to everyone that helped with translation, fonts, cloth shaking, and interviews back home.
