A long term participatory audio installation.
Activated by ancestors past, present and future using their voices. By Tamika Abaka-Wood.
WHAT + WHY:
1. Archiving and sharing knowledge, wisdom and stories.
We’re all world-builders.
2. Cultivating deep time-humility. We’re somebody’s ancestor. This hotline gets more generational as time passes.
3. Creating links across space and time. We are connected in more ways than we recognise.
4.Exploration of connectedness and ancestry beyond DNA.
We can be kinfolk beyond inheirited lineage.
5. Embodiment.
And saying what needs to be said.
We can explore the many ways to be ‘good’ ancestors, together in our many different voices. And then move accordingly innit.
