This new work explores alternative temporalities engaging with ancestry, ecology and the long term impacts of environmental violence.

Viewers are invited to follow an Ancestor on a journey down the river of time, from the faraway future to the present, encountering the remnants of their descendants.

Witnessing the future ramifications of radioactive waste storage and large scale irrigation projects, this work imagines how our relationship to the land may continue to change as we adapt to one another across hundreds of generations.

This free video exhibition visible throughout the festival duration at the World Museum in the The World Cultures Gallery.

The exhibition will be complemented by a free performance lecture by Sarah Al-Sarraj at 1pm on Saturday 12th July (booking required).

Sarah Al-Sarraj is a visual artist and cultural worker. Her practice centres on worldbuilding as a creative and critical process, where painting and immersive technologies are understood as portals to other worlds.
