Earth's Care Verde Vancouver

The weight of waste/Zero Waste is the third episode of the series, spoken in Portuguese.

This chapter delves with the profound paradox between the collapses we are experiencing and the ways in which we continue to defend business as usual.

Ninawa Inu Huni Kui - hereditary chief and also elected president of the Federation of the Huni Kui Indigenous People of Acre - will share his teachings around climate collapse and the global response from nation states around the world. He will share his experiences attending COP meetings for over 10 years, as well as teachings from his grandfather, and the Indigenous land struggles the Huni Kui are immersed in.

Alongside Ninawa’s voice, Andre Ticoulat will share his knowledge around the modern economic system and its relation to environmental collapse, the fallacies around carbon trading and other technocratic ‘solutions’, and the importance of Indigenous land rights for collective survival.

The pedagogy of the Uterus/Healthy ecosystems is the second episode of the series, spoken in English. In this chapter we will take an uncommon approach to understanding our current ecological crisis: we will Center the Uterus, as a pedagogy, a cosmology, an organ, and a political relationship to our living planet.

Yoruba initiated priest Bill Calhoun will share with us his reflections about how our current environmental crisis has roots in a historic system of violence, the theft of Indigenous knowledge, and the collective amnesia from the metaphoric ‘uterus’.

Maria Angelica Guerrero, a Colombian woman based in Coast-Salish territories, will weave her reflections about climate collapse through the lens of birth-work and artistic practices of collective healing.

The weight of waste/Zero Waste is the first episode of the series, spoken in Spanish. It dives into the ecologic, technocratic, social and spiritual dimensions of extractivism and waste.

Quechua Elder Maria Querar will share teachings about Indigenous plant medicine, urban and rural relationships to Land, as well as the Indigenous principles of relationality, reciprocity, and responsibility towards human and non-human world.

Along-side Mama Maria’s teachings, Enrico Trevisi, a venezuelan political ecologist who was based in Vancouver for many years, will speak about the political dimensions of waste at a local and global scale, and complexify our complicity in the structural violence of the current global system.
