Terra-Lapse

In the heart of a place void of time and territorial space,
Lies a practice,
Geographies converge, interconnected, essence of traditions entwine, (traditions unbound),
Landscapes align.

Beyond borders, voices emerge strong,
Indigenous histories belong,
Communicating through poetry as a measuring medium that’s free,
From the burdens of accuracy,
Where metrics define truth,
Memory, imaginaries and sensoriality becomes,
Harmoniously futures.

Through, illustration sand photography,
The narratives of struggles are expressed,
Crafting insights to the sacred,
Their values, their truths.

Yet questions linger, in the air they soar,
How do geographies of tradition and modernity coexist?
Across the land, wisdom’s lore.

In this practice, we find a guide,
Of a call to action,
A need for urgent reaction,
Embrace the tactile without solidity,
Opaque with political transparency,
Fleeting over time.

So let us heed this call, this invitation,
To join together in the quest, for transformation,
In a delicate balance,
Towards a possible future in the world where all may thrive.

A laboratory that transcends the norm,
Guiding us towards a shared insight.
In the heart of advocacy’s embrace,
Lies a practice, a life, a sacred space.
