Part of “On Planetary Justice”
Ticket also valid for “The Story of Arka Kinari: Artivism at Sea”
Talk with Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha, moderation: Maria Cecilia Oliveira
Erena Rangimarie RereOmaki Rhose, a Maori native of Aotearoa (New Zealand), who has lived in Sweden for 30 years, will open the four days on planetary justice at HAU with a keynote speech. She is a guardian carrier of tribal knowledge and a doctor of traditional Maori medicine. She lectures at Karlstad University on the subject of ecology-philosophy (ekosofi) and is an independent Knowledge Network Expert at the United Nations (Harmony with Nature). In her performative lecture, she talks about indigenous concepts of the interrelationships between ecologies and human actors, about indigenous law and the question of the rights of nature – using the example of the Whanganui River, which was recognized as the first legal entity in 2016.
After her performative lecture, Erena Rangimarie RereOmaki Rhose engages in conversation with Brazilian artist Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha, who has been dedicating herself for years to the voices of Brazilian rivers that bear witness to the climate crisis and destruction. Her research on the rights of rivers in the Amazon was conducted in the course of the performance “Tapajos,” which HAU is showing as part of its focus.
The discussion will be moderated by Cecilia Oliveira, head of the research group “Democratic Governance for Ecopolitical Transformations” (EcoPol) at RIFS (Research Institute for Sustainability at GFZ) in Potsdam.
In our printed programme, this event was announced as a keynote speech and discussion with Alessandra Korap. Please note the change of speaker.
