Disrupting The Legacy Of Colonization - Emerson Munduruku
Emerson Munduruku is a young artist, scientist, and educator from the Munduruku people of the Amazon. Through his drag persona, Uyra Sodoma, Emerson blurs the lines between human, animal, and plant. Whether out in the streets of the Amazonian city of Manaus, or in the sterilized space of the art gallery, Emerson disrupts colonial narratives of wilderness, gender, and environmental destruction as he mesmerizes audiences. Emerson spoke with Cultural Survival about his decolonial, queer performances, and about his hopes for both the art world and western science.
Sistemas alimentarios Indígenas, una esperanza global
Los sistemas alimentarios de los Pueblos Indígenas son una esperanza frente a las crisis alimentarias globales, pues estos sistemas promueven y conservan la diversidad, son respetuosos con la Madre Tierra, no agotan los recursos naturales, no usan agroquímicos, aseguran una alimentación más rica en nutrientes y una mejor salud. En el marco del Día de la Gastronomía Sostenible te invitamos a aprender y reflexionar sobre este tema a través de voces de personas Indígenas que envían su palabra desde México, Guatemala, Colombia y Brasil.
