One of the most interesting questions we can ask through the medium of rock art is how the ontologies of the past can be traced through time. This paper addresses the following: who is related to whom in the rock art of the Northern Europe, and how these relationships materialised, developed and disappeared in rock art. In particular, I will concentrate on the notion of community through the concepts of articulators and localisers as proposed by Latour by looking how non-human entities can be seen as these bringing people together. Through creating galleries of seeing for visual storytelling as a part of the hard memory, the rock artists materialised ontologies of the past as active memories of what it meant to constitute communities, in which the praxis of being became an integral part of their stories. I focus on White Sea rock art dating from 6000 to 4000 BP
