Find Madrid-based death worker and Mourning Artist Paula Hernando’s grief dolls on Instagram @doulas_project. And her death work performances and drawings on Instagram at @murnanaz.
In this episode, Narinder sits down with death worker and Mourning Artist Paula Hernando to explore her work of alchemizing
grief into form. Paula’s “Doula Project” offers bespoke dolls that carry the stories of loss. Each one is a vessel, each one is a witness. Together, they
discuss the reclamation of the plañidera (the mourning woman), the need for new death and grief conversations in Madrid, and how art becomes both death work
and culture work: an act of remembering, restoring, and remaking the world through mourning.
