grandma's medicine, iraganeko zuloa is a performance of diasporic memory that draws together the story of my great grandmother's salve (amumaren medikunza, or grandma's medicine), Basque mythology, and futures made from irretrievable pasts. This performance traces an indigenous memory from Bizkaia to Idaho and Buenos Aires through diasporic memorial pathways.
