IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED WITH MY ONGOING ‘MEMORY PROJECT’, TO SHARE REMINISCENCE, SMALL EVENTS, IDEAS ABOUT YOUR FORMATIVE YEARS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND MEMORY PLEASE CONTACT, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU:
I am interested in how our childhood, and teenage years form what we do, how we feel, how we react later.
How has childhood and upbringing changed over the years? And especially; what essentially stays the same.
I am limiting this to living memory, and to those who identify, or previously were identified as, female (sorry - I know not inclusive but part of the project parameters!)
I would love to collect spoken memory - you could send short audio, perhaps, or send a message and I will call you back - written, photos, ramblings, images of objects that were interesting or important, tales of places. It is a very open call. Using the photograph analogy, I am looking at a snapshot of formative times through the years, about 83 years actually.
I would love from this to create a mass of figures, to represent our collective memories, our formative years.
It might be happy things, might be favourite toys, clothes, family - or if you are like me, some of the most enduring memories may be embarrassment or shame - its up to you. You may have amazing events, you may - thinking how far back I am looking - have been an evacuee, or remember the first moon landing. You may have been a mother whilst still young, or ridden on an elephant.
Tell me.
Any communication is completely confidential, no names are used, it would be anonymous - unless you would prefer to be named, which is also fine. The only information I would actually want would be, with apologies, your date of birth. This is so that I can see the changes, find the connections across the years. Its about how upbringing changes, and stays the same.
Thanks you!
