“Hearth” explores the essential, often invisible work of carrying culture across generations. Our songs, celebrations, food, games, craft, spoken language - the things that give us a sense of home and belonging - have largely thrived over centuries thanks to the ingenuity and tenacity of women who remain anonymous to us. Here, we meet six composers encountering the gifts and burdens of this legacy while finding their own ways to carry a fire forward.
