CRONE is a visual oral history zooming in on the extraordinary voice of the older woman. While an abundance of media fixates on the young, famous, rich, and equally on violence and corruption, CRONE passionately veers off towards the under-represented older women, reclaiming what it is to be an experienced and knowledgeable wellspring and guardian of life. CRONE is concerned with the subtle undercurrents of being born female,
relaying stories from generation to the next about the implication and evolution of womanhood in the 21st century. CRONE is about change; a window to look out to the world from an alternative paradigm. Delving into the memories of our foresisters, CRONE will access and share the profound wisdom and experiences of women, in depth, with humor and inspiration.
CRONE is a documentary video project, featuring thirteen women, most of them veterans of the civil rights and feminist movements of the sixties and seventies. The project will be bringing together anonymous women alongside established scholars from different fields: mid-wife, theologian, artist, actress, pagan priestess, author, curator, primatologist, and film director, as well as Antoinette’s great aunt in Japan. Some of the women who
will be featured are Lucy Lippard, Meredith Monk, Ursula Reuter Christianson, Coletta Long, Mary Bauermeister, Nancy Spero, and Mary Daly. The women will be prompted to respond to the same thirteen questions around work, motherhood, tradition, war, and the idea of Goddess. CRONE will be showcased as a multi-channel video installation in an overlapping effect of voices and images.
