About the Exhibition
Response: Remembering Our Futures is the fifth annual iteration of The Polygon Gallery's Response Program, an annual filmmaking initiative that inspires artistic responses to historical and contemporary Indigenous ways of being. Past generations, stories, and histories influence the way we look toward our futures, inciting care and intention as we imagine beyond current realities. By breaking down the dichotomy of past and present, we invite an all-encompassing understanding of the relationships that we hold. Looking forward can feel uneasy during a time where so much seems uncertain, but Remembering Our Futures reminds us that our relationships exist in all directions, and tending to them allows us to see further than ourselves.
