Chapter 6: In conversation with Claire G. Coleman

A navigator reckons with the gift, and burden, of ancient knowledge.  

 

Ancestral Memory / As Slippery as an Eel by Claire G. Coleman

Read by Chelsea Hawke.

 

Down in the belly of the ship, a crewmate waits for the test that will determine her role, and how she will pay her way on this ride across the stars.

But it's in her dreams and the memories that can't possibly be hers that destiny awaits. A destiny shaped by blood. 


Ancestral Memory / As Slippery as an Eel, considers how there are some knowledges as old as time, ways of being, and knowing that will survive long into the future, perhaps even once we have left this world.

Chapter 4: In conversation with Paige Clark

A young mother wrestles with the unknown.

 

It's Possible by Paige Clark

read by Gabrielle Ng

 

Synopsis

On an unseasonably beautiful day, a trip to the park paints a picture of potential. From a moment on the monkey bars, to a dog without a lead, there is what is, and what could be.

There is what is safe, and what's known, and then, there's something else ...

It's Possible presents a scene of the everyday, a story that is equal parts charming and sinister. It reminds us that life is lived on the edge of uncertainty, and there is beauty in the balance.

A table speaks.

 

How to make a table a table from memory by Frankey Chung-Kok-Lun

read by Alfie Baker

 

Synopsis

What might your kitchen table say to you? What about the phone in your hand? Or the shoes on your feet? 

How might the things in our lives look back on where they came from, or where they're going? 

How to make a table from memory tells us a powerful, non-human story, that highlights how we, as humans, might reconnect with natural world, and what we take from it.
