"Objects are (...) awakeners of memory" (Mellado, 1999), all the elements brought together: the light, the miñardi fabric made by my asturian grandmother who immigrated to Argentina, the drawings that preserve the imprint of that woman, and the sound that covers a lullaby that my mother used to sing to me. This work links three generations in the present tense: grandmother, mother and daughter, in a loving bond that is only possible in the realm of the animic or imaginary. It makes available a private universe, which becomes public, to identify with the viewer's privacy. The weaving vindicates the role of women involved in domestic and artisanal work. On the other hand, the lullaby "Duerme negrito" is a popular and anonymous melody, as sweeping as it is committed to social reality. Remember that: "There is no dialectical image without a critical work of memory" (Didi Huberman, 1997).
