Event 38

Iñigo Maneiro in conversation with Nelly Luna

Learning to listen to the birds singing and the earth crying

Venue: Teatro Arequepay

Listening to the Amazon to learn, and flying over it to make it heard. Both Nelly Luna and Iñigo Maneiro know the Amazon region well, and bring to us stories that illustrate the problems of natural resource extraction and not paying due attention to its inhabitants. In his article Sobrevuelo en la Amazonía: el rastro de los depredadores, Luna talks about how illegal mining has made part of the region into a tree cemetery. Maneiro has lived with the Awajún people and has learned about their relationship with birds, and has given us a view of their ancestral worldview in her book Saber escuchar el canto. Relaciones entre aves y humanos en el pueblo awajún.
