Drawing on science fiction, new technologies, and diverse mythologies, the exhibition connects speculative imaginaries from different parts of the world. Rather than following a linear sense of history, it moves through temporalities shaped by ancestry, cosmology, memory, and future-making. Time appears not as a singular forward movement, but as something that loops, fractures, and returns through echoes, interruptions, remembrance, prophecy, and survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 115%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eThe “crackling” of the sun suggests both rupture and transmission – a radiant instability through which stories move across generations, worlds, and states of being. Mythologies are approached not as distant pasts but as living technologies: systems for navigating planetary crisis, displacement, kinship, and transformation. The conjunction of works proposes futurity as relational rather than extractive: a practice of returning, listening, and reactivating what has been obscured. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 115%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eCurated by Anja Lückenkemper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;\"\u003eImage Credit: \u003cspan class=\"image-title\"\u003eMawena Yehouessi, \u003cem\u003eEvil N\u003c\/em\u003e, 2025.
