Exploring ideas of guardianship and stewardship of borders within forests, this four-hour workshop will focus on risk, art, and the agency of local knowledge in defence of rainforests. We will discuss Indigenous art practices that work across these three realms in the Amazon with Artist and Activist Daiara Tukano; we will consider the political agency of photography with Brazilian artist and ecologist Marilene Ribeiro; and we will directly explore tools and strategies for guarding our safe spaces, wherever they might be.

This workshop is organised by CLACS, the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and is part of the Brazil Footprint 00 2023 public programme. The event is funded by CIDRAL, the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Arts and Languages, which facilitates cross-disciplinary activities and exchanges within the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures, University of Manchester.
