T A R T A M U D E O–a Spanish word for “stutter”–traces the connections between language, trauma, and cultural memory in a Cuban-American family. Assembled from archival fragments–home movies, educational films about stuttering, anti-Communist propaganda–and refracted through methods of analog and digital synthesis, the work explores a shared loss of language between two generations–one spurned by violent revolution, the other by speech impediment.
