The Things We'll Carry addresses fossilization, memorialization, and post-apocalyptic tropes in order to summon the radical transformation that can emerge after chaos and destruction. Reimagining an alternate future that is queer and ecotopic, I explore the need to identify objects and ideas that will survive the shift and transcend extinction. The title I use to frame this series is a future continuous alteration of Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried.
