Virtual Sanctuary for Fertilizing Mourning

A lecture and VR presentation with artists Eliana Otta and Nuno Cassola. 

 

Artists Eliana Otta and Nuno Cassola talk about the origins and development of their project Virtual Sanctuary for Fertilizing Mourning, now materialized in a website called Luto Verde. The website hosts 360° VR films about indigenous leaders and environmental defenders recently murdered in the Peruvian Amazon, while fighting extractivist activities, narcotrafficking and land trafficking. The event will be followed by a discussion and a VR version of the website will be available for the audience to try out.

 

Attendance is free, but we ask that people register attendance under: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/virtual-sanctuary-for-fertilizing-mourning-tickets-618923876977

Organised by the Decolonise Cambridge Society, in collaboration with CUSAS and the Department of Social Anthropology.
