Film screening "Geoglyphs in Southwestern Amazonia"
In Southwestern Amazonia, academic research has revealed over 1,000 geometric structures, formed by excavated ditches and walls. The designs of these earthworks are circles and squares, and many other forms have also been identified, such as rectangles, ovals, and octagons. This film offers diverse narratives on these pre-colonial earthworks: Indigenous views, recent research findings from international collaborative teams, and the perspectives of current landowners and Brazilian government officials. In Amazonia, human-environment interactions have been dissimilar and altered in time. This film draws attention to challenges of Indigenous biocultural heritage protection.
The screening is followed by Q&A and reception.
Free entrance.
