'Notes from the Forest--storytelling with the Penan of Borneo'

In the age of the Anthropocene, interdisciplinary methodologies are seen as powerful tools to redraw and relearn our connections. Fine art practices that examine and rethink the position of ecology, indigenous heritage, and natural processes are gaining momentum and critical force. Moving away from a western-centric vision, they attempt to present new connections with the environment and cultural diversity of marginalised communities.

Artist Paulina Michnowska will explore a recent fieldwork trip to the rainforest of Borneo, where a series of art-based collaborative activities took place with the community of Penan people. It will focus on how deforestation, urbanisation, and environmental changes have affected the Penan people’s way of living and their relationship to the surrounding landscape. It will also look into the latest approaches to collaboration and knowledge exchange that the Penan people co-designed with artists and external researchers to preserve and protect their cultural heritage.

Paulina will be speaking LIVE in the Daryll Forde, 2nd Floor of UCL Anthropology Dept, 14 Taviton St, London WC1H 0BW. Come in good time by 6:30pm before doors close please. You can also join on ZOOM ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak.

www.rainforest-rescue.orgIndonesia: The Tongka rainforest is safe!The village of Tongka on the Barito River in Borneo now has an official title to nearly 6,000 hectares of ancestral forest, ensuring that the Indigenous community can legally stand its ground against the loggers, mining companies and palm oil plantations eating away at Borneo’s rainforest. This success was achieved with the help of Rainforest Rescue and our partner organization, Save Our Borneo.
