A river in Narsaq, Greenland ties together a future fiction on water, memory, climate, and human habitation in this interactive sound installation.

Holding a radio-detector instrument, the audience explore along the river through a landscape of sounds, recorded narratives, artifacts and drawings to try and piece together the strange yet familiar events and experiences of a girl growing up in future Narsaq, and glimpses of the future of humanity at large.

The installation by Signe Ferguson and Kai Wu is the result of Billy Fleming’s advanced design studio at Yale School of Architecture, presented at Yale CCAM with tremendous help from Dana Karwas, Lauren Dubowski, and Ross Wightman, and inspired by our trip to Narsaq, Greenland, made possible by Zane Cooper.
