Conversa Selvagem - Primeira Flecha: A SERPENTE E A CANOA, Ailton Krenak e Anna Dantes

Like a wild offering to the new moon, the first Arrow was launched on the horizon, drawing a rainbow that originated in Acre and streaked across the sky from Pindorama to the Serra do Mar mountain range, warning us that the time had come. Ailton Krenak and Anna Dantes talk about the creation process of the Arrow. A meeting to defuse the ideas that weave this narrative about the origin of life and to dream of how to postpone the end of the world with beauty. Shall we embark? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live Music - OPENING Cambiar el Mundo: Lyrics and music by Mônica Besser Production by Guto Wirtti FINAL Ailton Krenak: Lyrics by Jonas (Worcman) Samauma Music: Mônica Besser Production by Guto Wirtti ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT THE ARROW 1 - THE SERPENT AND THE CANOE: We journey through contemporary scientific theories and memories of ancestral cultures. The guiding thread of this episode weaves together two narratives: that of the snake canoe, an original memory of the Rio Negro peoples, and the cosmic serpent, present in origin myths of different cultures, seen as the double helix of DNA, a memory code present in everything that is alive. The journey follows a sequence that intertwines indigenous knowledge and scientific hypotheses about the origin of Life. The narrative of this Arrow is based on the books: -The Cosmic Serpent, DNA and the Origin of Knowledge, Jeremy Narby -Before the World Did Not Exist, DESANA -The Tukano World Before the Whites, Alvaro Tukano This arrow features works by various Brazilian and foreign artists: TUNGA @institutotunga, Tarsila do Amaral, Anna Maria Maiolino, Antonio Dias, @jonathasdeandrade, @alexandre.vogler @e.l.i.s.a.m.e.n.d.e.s @botkay Lua Kali, Modesto Brocos, Huni Kuin works, Pablo Amaringo, Cyprien Tokoudagba, J.

A dream that @_ailtonkrenak had to postpone the end of the world. In 2021, 6 arrows will be launched. It is an audiovisual that did not generate new images. An experience resulting from the times we are going through, in which we must learn to deal with what is possible, and still continue to seek beauty. The arrow is a way for us to spread the content we discuss in SELVAGEM, a cycle of studies on life that opens paths for the coexistence of traditional, scientific and artistic knowledge. The arrows are intended for the general public and are also an invitation for schools, universities, cultural centers, and community education projects to access more pluriversal narratives. WILD ARROW opens the way for new questions to be asked, available for free on our YouTube channel with English subtitles. The arrows will be accompanied by some WILD NOTEBOOKS for free download with complementary information, activity proposals, and activations. Each arrow consists of a narrative in the voice of AILTON KRENAK, a script written by ANNA DANTES, a radiant myriad of images 'composed' from various indigenous, artistic, and scientific archives, as well as animations and original music. #wild #canoe #indigenouscosmogony #dialogue #enchantment #whatweare #pluriverse #metamorphoses #ailtonkrenak #annadantes
