Lullabies Project

This live music performance explores lullabies from different cultures across Sheffield. It will emerge from a collaboration with local communities, in a workshop led by the Vilk Collective.

Ive been singing Iranian songs as lullabies to my children, and it's the one moment when I feel this invisible thread connecting me back to my motherland and passing that heritage on to them. It's also at that moment that my kids might ask me about their grandparents or the landscapes of a country they have never been able to visit. After speaking to others of mixed heritage who face similar challenges of keeping our mother tongues and cultures alive, I realised I could explore this subject through music, which has no borders, can touch us all and unites us rather than divides us.
