Liliana Colanzi and Hanna Limulja talk to Polly Russell

Dreaming of Resistance: Indigenous Cultures in the Face of Collapse

 – St Mary’s Church

How can ancient cultures open up our senses and help us dream of a better future? Bringing together ideas, traditions and perspectives from indigenous cultures, Bolivian writer Liliana Colanzi and Brazilian anthropologist Hanna Limulja discuss with British Library curator Polly Russell how dreaming is a form of indigenous resistance and hope.

In You Glow in the Dark, Colanzi imagines eerie, post-nuclear futures where survival and postcolonial revolution are the norm, while Limulja’s work focuses on how dreams have been part of the territorial and cultural struggle of the Yanomami people.
