TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Loss and found JO - International journal of qualitative studies in education A1 - Weems, M.E. SP - 486 EP - 495 VL - 34 IS - 6 N2 - Loss and Found is an autoethnographic, performative text which contextualizes Black mother/daughter relationships from a collective, cultural perspective informed by race, gender and class in the midst of life altering grief. The work is written in two reflexive voices that reflect the experiences of a bi-polar daughter and worried mother on a journey through what it means to deal with mental illness, homelessness and suicide surrounded by the silence of familial and societal apathy. Created as a performance-based workshop, Loss and Found encourages audience members to share their own stories of loss as a way to emphasize our human interconnectivity and the importance of working together toward healing. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
