About this event
Visual ArtWhat do cities remember? What knowledge do we carry forward? And what futures become possible when we imagine our cities with responsibility to the next Seven Generations?
A Translucent City: Collective Memories of the Future is an evolving research-creation exhibition emerging from Cities for Seven Generations, a broader interdisciplinary project exploring how memory, relationships, and lived experience shape urban futures.
The exhibition brings together illuminated textile cartographies and a documentary film, developed through community conversations, storytelling, participatory arts-based research, and processes informed by Indigenous cultural protocols. The exhibition is a living installation that continues to evolve through participatory workshops and public textile contributions.
The film explores urban conditions through participant stories, reflections, and experiences of urban life. It invites viewers to consider how cities might be experienced by others and to imagine alternate urban futures through relationality, reciprocity, and stewardship.
