In this paper we empirically explore the ways in which young people were enroled in a
multimodal exhibition to creatively produce narratives of their past, presents and futures. We
look at the different ways this work was framed, and how all memory work and, we argue,
future work is relational, interactionally produced and situated in dynamic and unfolding social
and political frameworks. We look at the ways young people described the work of producing
accounts of their futures within that setting, and the different forms of labour involved in that
process. We explore the encounters that fostered local, more humble, acts of care and repair,
and how those everyday practices might help build towards reparative futures.
