by Kristin Anahit Cass (Author), Araxie Cass (Editor), Tamar Marie Boyadjian (Contribution by)
Powerfully translating ancestral wisdom, connection, and memory into present expressions of healing and hope, moving across time and space to navigate a difficult present and envision a better future, author and artist Kristin Anahit Cass looks to our ancestral roots to explore the future in her debut book Reparations of the Heart. Reparations of the Heart presents a vibrant tapestry of essays, stories, poems, quotes and detailed, often surreal images, exploring questions of identity, community, healing and hope, through an inclusive futurist lens. Centering diverse diaspora communities and feminist and queer communities in solidarity with indigenous communities everywhere, this book transcends ethnic, gender and other divides to forge a compassionate future with room for all. Using photography to create beautiful portraits of a diverse past, present and future, Cass and her subjects imagine a global futurism of all kinds-Queer Futurism, SWANA Futurism, Indigenous Futurism, Feminist Futurism and more, because no matter where our ancestors were from, they sacrificed and made the way for us to exist in this world, creating a legacy for us of creativity and loving generosity that we can carry into the future.
