New Exhibition Connects Art and Ecology
A collaborative project involving academics, artists, and scientists, Listening to the Voices of the Rivers, explores the vital role rivers play in sustaining communities and ecosystems.
Drawing on Amazonian Indigenous philosophies and practices, the exhibition connects with initiatives in the North East of England focused on healthy rivers and rainforest curricula, addressing ecological sustainability, Indigenous knowledge, and community participation.
Curated by Dr Giuliana Borea, Dr Jamille Pinheiro Dias, and Dr Harriet Sutcliffe, the exhibition features artists from Peru and Brazil, including Denilson Baniwa, Lilly Baniwa, and Rember Yahuarcani.
The exhibition brings together powerful work, addressing ecological sustainability and community participation.
The project is a result of collaboration between Newcastle University's School of Modern Languages and various artists and scientists.
