A collaborative project involving academics, artists, and scientists, Listening to the Voices of the Rivers, explores the vital role rivers play in sustaining communities and ecosystems.
Drawing on Amazonian Indigenous philosophies and practices, the exhibition connects with initiatives in the North East of England focused on healthy rivers and rainforest curricula, addressing ecological sustainability, Indigenous knowledge, and community participation.
The exhibition is curated by Dr Giuliana Borea from Newcastle University's School of Modern Languages, alongside Dr Jamille Pinheiro Dias and Dr Harriet Sutcliffe, and features the work of artists from Peru and Brazil, including Denilson Baniwa, Lilly Baniwa, and Rember Yahuarcani.
The exhibition brings together powerful works of art to raise awareness about the importance of rivers and ecosystems.
