Mother Archive

In Mother Archive, Erika Morillo reconciles the demons of her past including a family murder kept secret, the mysterious disappearance of her father, the systematic erasing of family photographs, a turbulent relationship with her mother, and layers of generational trauma and abuse. Intertwining memories with archival family photographs, news clippings, film stills, and artistic images, Mother Archive spans three generations across three different countries, and works as a map in which Morillo traces incidents in her family history to help her understand herself and her own experience as a mother.
