Situated within the framework of the Anthropocene, this reflection draws inspiration from a recent exhibit at the Peale Museum, showcasing artifacts retrieved from sites along the Jones Falls River and the Chesapeake Bay in Baltimore, MD. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach that contemplates futuristic visions of place and the embedded histories within objects, such as dolls, calculators and soda cans, the essay envisions a Museum of Extinction that interrogates the stark contrasts between tangible remnants of the natural world and living organisms in constructed environments. These objects embody haunting stories of damaging extractive practices and ecological and cultural erasure, serving as poignant reminders of the subtle presence of vanished lives and species, compelling us to deepen our understanding of the intricate dynamics of production, consumption and loss. It contends that, although a single or definitive \u201cformula\u201d for de-extinction is unattainable, poetic and creative engagements with everyday artifacts can serve as powerful testimonials to absences and material interventions. Such acts of writing not only foster a profound understanding of ecological and cultural entanglements but also motivate active material interventions. They transform the act of writing about objects into a reflective practice \u2013 an invocation of remembrance and a catalyst for potential change, sparking a quiet insurrection in how we perceive and care for the world.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/ext.2025.10004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,2]],"date-time":"2025-09-02T06:48:42Z","timestamp":1756795722000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ineffable absences, irrefutable presences"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"3","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2977-0802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gisela","family":"Heffes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2755095825100041_r14","volume-title":"Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene","author":"Haraway","year":"2016"},{"key":"S2755095825100041_r6","volume-title":"A History of the World in 100 Objects","author":"MacGregor","year":"2010"},{"key":"S2755095825100041_r3","volume-title":"Vibrant Matter: A Political Ecology of Things","author":"Bennett","year":"2010"},{"key":"S2755095825100041_r13","volume-title":"Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet: Ghosts and Monsters of the Anthropocene","author":"Tsing","year":"2017"},{"key":"S2755095825100041_r11","unstructured":"Zilbalodis, G (2024) Flow, le Chat Qui N\u2019avait plus Peur de L\u2019eau."},{"key":"S2755095825100041_r12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7551\/mitpress\/10938.001.0001"},{"key":"S2755095825100041_r10","unstructured":"Wheeler, W (2016) In other tongues: Ecologies of meaning and loss.
