SURVIVA: A Future Ancestral Field Guide

SURVIVA: A Future Ancestral Field Guide is a visionary work of Indigenous futurism by acclaimed artist Cannupa Hanska Luger. Blending art, poetry, and speculative fiction, this hybrid publication reimagines a 1970s military survival manual into a radical meditation on resilience, planetary life, and Indigenous knowledge as a guiding force for humanity’s future. Through redacted text, intricate drawings, and mythic storytelling, Luger envisions an earth-based, demilitarized world rooted in connection and transformation. Both a field guide and an artwork, SURVIVA invites readers to imagine new modes of survival and community that transcend colonial frameworks.
