A Father's Lullaby is an ongoing series of interactive public installations, community engaged workshops, and a participatory geolocated audio website. Intimate interviews, songs, and lullabies offer poetic meditations on love and trauma, presence and absence, and the power of personal memories to interrogate the structural violence of mass incarceration. A Father's Lullaby highlights the role of men in raising children and their absence due to the racial disparities in the criminal justice system and its direct impact on children, women and lower income communities. The project is centered on marginalized voices of absent fathers while inviting all men to participate by singing lullabies and sharing memories of childhood. A Father’s Lullaby is a “Poetic Movement” where art and technology mobilizes a plethora of voices while utilizing public places and virtual spaces to ignite a more inclusive dialogue to effect social change. Explored through the space of love and intimacy, the project is being developed with community members as creative collaborators.
