Antropólogos indígenas participam do Painel Conhecimento Indígena em Tempo de Policrise, em Helsinki na Finlândia

A doutoranda Rosijane Tukano e o pós-doutorando Justino Tuyuka do programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social (PPGAS/UFAM, Brasil), participam do Painel sobre conhecimentos indígenas em tempos de policrise social, sanitária, climática e econômica, na Universidade de Helsinki, na Finlândia.

No momento do colapso da biodiversidade e das alterações climáticas, o conhecimento indígena foi destacado como um elemento em falta nos debates e políticas. O que dizem os estudiosos indígenas sobre a inclusão do conhecimento indígena na formulação de políticas e na academia? Qual é a genealogia da crise na perspectiva indígena e quem tem a agência na transformação sustentável? Estas são questões que serão tratadas durante o evento.

O painel incluiu também os seguintes palestrantes, além de Justino e Rosijane. Francisco Apurinã , pesquisador de pós-doutorado da Universidade de Helsinki e Judith Daxootsu Ramos (indígena Tlingit), professora assistente da Universidade do Alasca.

O evento foi presencial, na Universidade de Helsinki, sendo transmitido via canal do PPGAS no Instagram.

O painel é parte de dois projetos de cooperação entre o PPGAS/UFAM e a Universidade de Helsinki. O projeto Co-Conhecer – estudos indígenas sobre linguagens, conhecimentos tradicionais e meio ambiente numa colaboração entre Finlândia e Amazônia e do Consórcio internacional EDGES.

A participação dos pesquisadores da UFAM conta com apoio financeiro do Projeto EDGES, do Ministério da Educação da Finlândia e apoio complementar da Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisas do Estado do Amazonas (FAPEAM) e do Conselho Nacional de desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnológico (CNPq).

Exhibition “Engraving the Territory. The art of exile in Pilsen (Chicago) from April 26 to July 4, 2024. 

Invited curators:
Aline Hémond (Paris Nanterre University/CNRS LESC-EREA),
Fabienne de Pierrebourg (Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac Museum),
With the assistance of René H. Arcéo (Arceo Press) and Ingrid Arriaga (ICM).

In Pilsen, an emblematic district of Chicago, the plural face of the city, enriched by Latin American immigration, is fully revealed. Mexican artists, through their creations, were major players in the civic struggles of the 1960s and inspired the Chicano muralist movement of the 70s and 80s. This exhibition is presented as an artistic exploration of the turbulent journeys of forced migration, while celebrating the desire to shape one’s own destiny. Through engravings and multimedia resources, it illustrates the dissemination of images and ideas that still resonate today with the issues of social and environmental justice.

The result of research carried out at the main temple of Mexica culture is presented for the first time in Europe. A unique exhibition in the history of Mesoamerican archaeology.

EDGES Investigador Aline Hémond, Professor of Anthropology, Department of Anthropology, CNRS, Université Paris-Nanterre (EREA), was in charge of the last part of the exhibition, which is about the Nahua peoples of today, their rituals, offerings, and sacrifices, their ontologies, and their relationship with sacred sites (hills, caves, springs) that are an axis of the cosmology of yesterday and today.
