Our Collaborations 

Grandmothers Who Inspired Us Across the World

About

We are proud of our collaboration with Merry Adler to produce her first published book, Grandmothers Who Inspired Us Across The World (2019), that is now part of the Library of Congress. 

 

Merry dedicated this unique collection of heartfelt memoirs to her own maternal grandmother who inspired her to create a very special anthology. Thirty loving grandchildren were interviewed by Merry, and it is their unique perspective and genuine reflections of their grandmothers that will indeed inspire countless readers. One third of the grandmothers in this compendium were born outside the United States. Such countries are: China, Colombia, France, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Sweden, Syria, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam.

 

As Merry offers the readers, "A good loving grandmother is no different whether she lives in Mississippi or Morocco. The languages of these grandmothers, their culture and their religions may vary but their love is the same."

Interviews and documentary with seniors

About

Our team had the privilege of conducting a series of meaningful dialogues with senior residents in the municipalities of Lombardy and Piedmont in Italy in 2014.

 

During these conversations, we were able to document their life experiences, memories of cherished moments, and valuable advice. The essence of these discussions has been eloquently captured in the vivid pictures taken by Italian photographer Umberto Recalcati and documented in the article The Good Spirits of Big Cities published in UN Magazine. We are proud to have been a part of this project and to have helped preserve the wisdom of our elders for future generations.
