At the close of the ethnographic exhibition ANCESTRAL, Wednesday, 8th May, at 18:30, there will be a conference that will focus on the following topics:
– Mythological Stories of the Andes “Las Cinco Aguilas Blancas – The Five White Eagles”, of Tulio Febres Cordero, by Paola De Crescenzo
– “Vortex”. The sound as a carrier of energy, by Andrea Bini;
– The media manipulation in cultural subjection of peoples, by dr. Walter Martinez – program Dossier Telesur.
The exhibition celebrates 20 years of commitment on the part of Sangredeamerica.org,a not-for-profit organization set up by a group of people including writers, anthropologists, musicians, campesinos, intellectuals and ordinary individuals, motivated by the urge to promote awareness at the international level of the real risk of extinction faced by the last guardians of nature: the indigenous peoples. Venezuelan musician and documentarian H. Antoni Carvajal explains that the initiative disseminates the value of rural traditions, which continue to be destroyed by modern-day progress, exalts native culture, the importance of traditional lifestyles and the spiritual vision of indigenous populations for the protection of the Earth. ANCESTRAL can count on the collaboration of Dr. Peter Matthaes, Director of the Museo d’Arte e Scienza of Milano, the first museum in the world to develop a scientific method for dating and identifying the wood type of art objects and antiques. Partaking in the project are: scholars of indigenous philosophy, traditional musicians, peace promoters and organizations which, like Sangredeamerica.org, encourage the self-determination of endangered native populations.
