A Project about Identity, Community, Healing and Hope
"What Would a World Without Genocide Look Like?" Hyperallergic
What does the world look like from a compassionate futurist perspective? Can we preserve a connection to our ancestors while envisioning a better future for all? This sweeping project imagines the future and envisions creating it, encompassing stewardship of the land, ancestral practices, reparations, and respect for our shared and diverse cultures.

More from the Exhibition:
While disorienting time and space as we take control of our own narratives, we experience past, present, and future at once, much as our ancestral divination practices harness a nonlinear understanding of time, and simultaneous occupation of spaces.
Experience a family’s return to their ancestral village, a reckoning with a past they believed was lost. Witness ancestors who faced a violent, colonial past stepping out of vintage photos into a tumultuous present to reassert agency over their own stories. Experience the emotions embodied in a Memory Shard embossed with the soil of ancestral lands or the imprint of a child’s slipper brought from a lost homeland. Meet the people who came together to collaborate on portraits of diversity and friendship. Travel to an imagined homeworld where past and future come together in dreamlike combinations. Join me in the coffee divination ritual.
