Fantastic project taking place in the LOFT now, artist Lehni Lamide Davies is getting ‘MotherSong’ ready to open for participants on Friday and Saturday. You can book to be part of the soundscape via eventbrite now! Event description: MotherSong is an experiential participatory project by Lehni Lamide Davies, that uses song to explore the intimate relationship between empathy and wellbeing in motherhood. It encompasses a purpose built flexible Sound-shed containing a sound installation of lullabies collected from a community of mothers of all backgrounds. This MotherSong sound installation will be at LOFT at Croydon Arts Store from 21st - 24th November 2018. This residency is the first of an ongoing series of participatory events that will reach different communities of mothers, as it evolves and develops with each new location. During her residency at LOFT, Lehni is inviting local mothers based in Croydon and the surrounding areas to participate and record their song for the MotherSong project. The songs offered could be a lullaby, an ancient song, a traditional song or even a song with no words. Each recorded song will be added to the collection that form the MotherSong soundscape, and become part of the ongoing, evolving sound installation. Each participant will receive an invitation to the private closing reception, along with an limited edition MP3 of the MotherSong sound piece. Recording sessions will be on: Friday 16th & Saturday 17th November 2018 from 11:30am to 2pm They will take place at LOFT and last approximately 20 mins. * Advance booking is required. To book - please select a date at the top right hand of this page. • You don't have to be a singer or worry about having a good voice to be in this project • The important thing is that the song speaks to you and resonates with your experience of motherhood * You are welcome to bring your children to the recording session if needed, however please be aware that the recording space is very small and compact. It can be helpful to bring toys and come with another adult/family member to keep your child engaged while you are recording.
