Performative Lecture by Leon Filter and Valentina Curandi: MUMMYTHEDADDY
- Diese Veranstaltung hat bereits stattgefunden.
MUMMYTHEDADDY is a collection of personal anecdotes and written images that explore paternal relationships, inherited memories and experiences with familiar roles. Through stories of military service, dementia, and monsters, Leon Filter reflects on the complexities of family histories. By examining how we remember and forget, MUMMYTHEDADDY emphasizes the contributions of narratives in shaping our understanding of how intergenerational dynamics form, and proposes to reshape roles within dependency relationships.
MUMMYTHEDADDY was published by Edition Malade with Afterwords by Valentina Curandi.

In his practice, he examines conditions as well as historical and political implications of personal narratives, often in collaborative forms.
