This paper will examine how the image of the mourning mother appears as a persistent cultural trope in recent documentary performance work and contemporary social movements (with a specific focus on Greece). In doing so, the paper will examine how contemporary performances of mourning mothers participate in the assemblage of a feminist archive, reanimating responsibility and care for the bodies of the dispossessed.
