WEAVING WORLDS will get its London premiere at the Native Spirit Festival. If you have family or friends in London it would be great if you could give them a heads up.
The festival – which will also tour cities in Spain – will offer the
European public an opportunity to glimpse into the worlds of some of
the oldest survi...ving and most marginalised people on this planet; from
the Chilean Andes to Arctic Canada. These often over-looked communities
are rooted in ancient traditions, cultures and languages, yet are more
commonly characterised today by displacement, conflict and exploitation.
All proceedings made at the festival will go towards educational
resources for schools in indigenous communities. La Nueva Escuela (The
New School) – Is a proposal for autonomous education within indigenous
communities based on an indigenous understanding of life.Read More
