What is being left to future generations, and what has been inherited from ancestors? What has, as of yet, neither been perceived nor imagined? Lara Kramer transfers Them Voices – the voices of her mixed heritage of settlers and a Canadian first-nation line of the Oji-Cree – to our fragile present. In her piece, the past and the future merge into a search for new ways that we, as future ancestors, might now decide to take. Kramer practices artistic archaeology and discovers hidden narratives about the consequences our actions today have for future generations.
