Performative talk
The performative lecture by Lucia Kagramanyan explores the Armenian lullaby as both cultural archive and contemporary feminist practice. Building upon her earlier project Her Voice: Behind Armenian Lullabies, premiered at Framer Framed in Amsterdam in 2024, it continues an ongoing investigation into anonymous women’s authorship and the relevance of lullabies today. Focusing on songs transmitted by Armenian women across regions of Western and Eastern Armenia and within diaspora communities, the project examines the lullaby as a site of cultural resilience, intergenerational memory, and intimate resistance. Incorporating archival recordings and new fieldwork, it highlights these seemingly fragile songs as resilient carriers of survival, maternal care, and linguistic preservation, while also imagining cultural futures through the act of singing. Alongside her artistic work, Lucia is active as a curator engaging with sound, archives, and contemporary practices in Armenia and beyond.
