Please join us for the UK premiere of the documentary Vale? Is It Worth It? Five artists in the front line against Brazil’s worst environmental crime. The screening will be preceded by lunch and networking and followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session.
Through music, poetry and circus performances, five Brazilian artists talk about their grief, fears and hope four years after the Brumadinho Dam collapsed, killing 300 people.
The documentary (30 minutes), directed by Paul Heritage and Marcelo Barbosa (Indianara, 2019) focuses on the impact of the collapse on the artistic and cultural heritage of this rich mining region in Brazil and asks - Is it worth it? The documentary was produced by People's Palace Projects as a result of an international research project Roots of Resilience by People’s Palace Projects/ Queen Mary University of London and University of Manchester. The study mapped the value of tangible and intangible heritage of the Iron Quadrangle in Brazil in partnership with five local artistic organisations directly impacted by mining activity.
The event will be chaired by Dr Leandro Valiati of the Institute for Cultural Practices.
