We Live is both an entry log from a time/space jump and documentation of a performative land-based action. Wearing sensory muting regalia, the figures use their physical presence to pledge accountability to the land and waters affected by resource extraction and industry. This video illustrates how Future Ancestral Technologies approaches Indigenous futurism, blending media, place, storytelling and documentation of a living practice. As a short film, it communicates the ethos of Future Ancestral Technologies while evidencing the live actions that the work requires.
