ah, well, come to take, talk with him about hackers and paralyzed me to your societies. computers that are some are you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can only go what was in for, and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it, no need to ah, we need to tell it like a life changing story. it actually is. now is a good time to listen to indigenous peoples going to be a thought, every one fears, the end of the world that we indigenous people already know what it means.

can the planet still be saved? or is human greed going to destroy it? can a book by activist gretel turnbook prompt us to rethink how we live our lives and what can indigenous cultures and their relationship with nature teaches. we had to know way brazil and africa to find out. and al journey begins on the edge of a rain forest, africa, southwestern cameroon, near the coast, to town of creepy people, a busy building, a better future. the rain forest here is part of the congo basin, the world's 2nd largest area of trump rainforest. after the amazon

blue at the edge of the rain forest walk of villages taking shape, it's named outer native african tree. that's a gathering place for the local community. here, people from the region to live in harmony with nature, with the help of traditional materials and technology, old and new. at the heart of walk, a village is not a tree, but a tower. one that can collect and filter up to 25000 liters of rain, water and condensation. them on pale, come on in my country and cameroon, and whole track stream. the important and rare commodity walner. we travel for miles to get clean drinking water activity. we were to give ball nibble communities like the bag yearly, as well as all the others who needed access to drinking water and, and i retired and up with ab about jelly family has set up house right next to the construction side. they were displaced from their home in the rain forest and could

be among the people who move into the village once it's finished. how was it was a 8 to 10 families from various communities could live here together in the future. oh no, no, go. we're happy, the project is coming together, laportia beaver job or did that's why we settled here is la josie. but they also want to better their children's future. as in many other regions of the country, the children can't go to school because they have to help ensure their families basic needs. like fetching water for daily use. they often woke for many hours and many kilometers through the forest. the long distance is a one factor. another is health and hygiene. the destruction of the forest and the expansion of cities have ruined the beg, yell is home and their access to clean water. along we all do our

business in the river. the water isn't really drinkable, it's where we use the toilet, where we do our laundry. everything on your we drink there till i go from the same river that i'm in. walk a village, aims to make lasting improvements to the living conditions of the people in this region. construction began in 2019 italian architect, a tour of the tory is in charge of the project he previously worked on designing settlements for space research projects. so he's no stranger to dealing with tricky environmental conditions. here in our program, you come at own house and architect. i have a more chance to work with, you know, natural materials. so being a less industrialized country, we are kind of obliged to go and, you know, look for alternative technology which are then at the,

for us or for them or the traditional one. so here people as they leave the mud howes howes, middleton, bumble, voids earth. traditionally rain 1st huts have roofs made of palm leaves and that was the inspiration for walk, a village. oh, the homes are designed for families of up to 10 people. this space for a fire pit in the center of the room. the rising smoke should protect the fat roof from moisture and keep insects away. this house in the rain forest, i'm to emulate the traditional lifestyle of the regular people who've lived here for as long as anyone can remember. but every year, an estimated $4000000.00 hectares of rain forest a cleared on the african continent. this destruction has devastating consequences for every one, but especially for indigenous peoples all over the world. the forest

has been privatized, the forest that she was going on, and the bigness that being living here for millennium. now that shows often the forest and now there are marginalized. so this is what is her opinion every day under our eyes. and is also our responsibilities. the north was a western reward for what is happening. walk a village is intended to create new living spaces and trying local people. for instance, as gardeners or skilled tradespeople, residents should be able to live in harmony with nature and be self sufficient. it's a moral project for sustainable architecture, but also a social experiment. onward in your case, we must educate each person with yes, a 10 percent. some come here with prior knowledge, but the majority of the workers and participants in this project have no experience

slippery and so our projects, not just about building homes, planting flowers or providing a water supply for the boy. it's about training young people, so they can learn a profession and be independent in the future and also a level the projects leaders hope people can coexist and treat one another with respect a utopia on the outskirts of the rain forest. how promising is the project for the indigenous peoples here? can every one learn to get along? if we're sa, walk a mile as we have to learn how to approach one another account to communicate, can we have a different way of life from which we must try to understand how the other lives talks. and the data is saying goes the other way around. to buy, pull, noisy, wilder flow, the more, you know, barbara cautiously reaches out to the bog yearly, who have little contact to other social groups. there's a great divide between the cultures of the industrialized world and the indigenous

peoples of the rain forest. mozy wrote the blubbering, if they want us all to live here together. though, on some medicine, they must also accept how we live. it was, if you will, calmer mom of g. the village should be ready for people to start gradually moving in by 2023. will the conflicts be resolved by then? the children have already made the place their own. and ultimately that's who the projects visionaries have in mind. the by jellies, knowledge about living in harmony with nature is being lost. walk a village is an attempt to preserve this knowledge and share it with the global north. we'll all pay the price for the planets, exploitation, and degradation. that's the message from the world's leading climate activist gretel tune berg. and she wants us to know how it connects to the many crises

underway in today's world. the climate crisis in a metaphor. when your bath tub is overflowing, you don't go looking for buckets and putting towels on the ground to minimize the damage. the 1st step is to turn off the tap and so that's what we need to do. but that's not what we're doing. on the contrary, we're worsening the situation and belching even more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. we're still pretending that we can soul this crisis without having to change. we're still pretend that we can saw this crisis within our current systems . and by doing so, we are denying the width of this crisis. we spoke to gretchen bergen, stockholm, and a low emissions meeting by video. cool. she didn't want any one flying anywhere to

discuss her new book. a local camera team helped out. it's the story of the greatest crisis yet to face human kind. greta turn bergs, climate book, she co authored it with experts on many disciplines, such as economist tomar, pico t climate. scientists from the global south and writers like margaret atwood. it presents the current state of the science and also looks like historical feelings and at what alternatives remain to us. the basic message is if we want to save our civilization, we can't do it with little changes to how we live and conduct business. we have to rethink it fundamentally and radically icon system is based on the fact that we are supposed to grow every year. we are supposed to use more to extract more and to produce more or consume more. and that's not something that is really in line with wither, staying within the planetary boundaries. i mean, we cannot have infinite growth and infinite extraction on

a finite planet. it just doesn't make sense. ah, what's needed is the system other than the unbridled and self perpetuating hyper capitalism. we live in. but it's hard to imagine an alternative, as the activist admits herself. yeah, of course em. but then again, do we have a choice? is no longer an opinion to say that we need a new system according to the u. s. emissions. gap reports the world's plans production of fossil fuels by the 2030 is twice as much as what would be consistent with the $1.00 degree target. so it just shows that this is already locked in, in our current system. so in order to change that, we need a new system. attempts being made to slow will stop the climate crisis using the means that capitalism's disposal, green growth, for example,

that 0 emissions growth based on new technologies. but most of these don't even exist, or they're inadequate. this narrative serves only to bolster the corporate green washing tactics and the government's create of accounting. the book offers up a selection of possible approaches to a less successive, more sustainable system. one point is obvious, it will have to be something that's never been tried before. and morally, the ones made to shoulder the greatest burden ought to be the ones who up to now haven't joined the greatest advantages. that is completely absurd. if you think about it, we let a few privileged people take advantage of this and continue sacrifice, present, and future living conditions in order foot to give themselves the possibility of continuing to make fantasy an amount of money. we know who these people are. we know these companies are and will need to hold them accountable on the bare minimum

is making them repay the debt and the compensate for the destruction they have course, gretchen burgers also demanding justice for those already fighting on the front lines of the looming disaster. who are feeling the effects of what the countries of the global north have caused. some people say that we are one in the same boat, but of course we are not only in se boat, we are in the same storm but not in the same boat. many talk about a new form of colonialism that we are now kaloni lising, the atmosphere that is tightening the grip on, on the people who are already affect effected by, by historic exploitation and so on. and of course, this is also another symptom of that these, these crisis are interconnected. social inequality that the climate crisis also not further fueling. griffin berg writes, the climate crisis is of course only

a symptom of a much larger sustainability. crisis. tackling it calls for ambitious solutions, life changing ones north and scandinavia is home to the last indigenous people of europe. but climate change is threatening the sammy reindeer herders way of life. can on prevent this traditional culture from dying out. it all began with this pile 200 reindeer skulls. former tapestry, as a dramatic protest against the norwegian government, for forcing saw me reindeer herders to slaughter their animals efficiently because of overgrazing. the artwork named pilar's tucked me became a symbol of the saw me struggle for survival and was already shown at document 14 and 2017 halo sat me was most one of the most powerful things i've ever experienced

. it just had such a great energy. remember, there was such a huge personal grief and anger and desperation from me, from my family, but collectively from our community at that time. so that was a huge part of kyla thought me was to puncture through the silence, you know, to inform a greater public about our realities. in the summer of 2022, a new work by marlott on the saga was exhibited at the 59th venice be narly. and this 2 concerns reindeer behind chiefs of grass dead reindeer calls from her families. herd symbolized personal loss is my carousel of life and death and draw my and hole in in many ways because it wasn't that easy us just to call my my father or brother to bring me some of the dead kelves for us. the reindeer is not just an animal, i would maybe call it

a relative in a sense. the life cycle of the reindeer has always guided the life of the saw me people. margaret honor saga also comes from a family of reindeer herders. a professional traditionally practiced by the saw me people their culture and believes so closely tied to reindeer and a sustainable conception of nature. the indigenous people of the north have been oppressed for centuries, even to day. many have to fight for their survival. margaret on her sorrows, art is about the suffering of her people. when i'm dealing with the most difficult issues, you know where, where the issues are so severe, so personal and so acute that i would, i feel a need to, to put myself there are. so you understand the sincerity of,

of the message she has even brought the smells of her homeland to venice. this work made of rain. dea attendance smells like the extractions of stressed animals at the stench of fear. in contrast to another one that's fresh and pleasant. and is meant to symbolize hope you seal so physically and the whole one is much bigger. so less important in life and hope. 2022 was the 1st time that the nordic pavilion of the scandinavian countries has been dedicated to the san. is this perhaps a sign of hope? performance artist paulina fear, dog of from finland and painter under so now from sweden are also exhibiting in the pavilion. all 3 understand their work as art and as political activism. does this signal meaningful recognition or isn't merely symbolic? saw feels conflicted and agonized over whether she wants to,

to exhibit at all. norway, in particular, where i am from. it is very good at making our public appearance, you know, asked politically correct air assa protector of human rights, indigenous rights and nature. whereas in reality, things are quite different and we are in major struggles. the topics addressed here, the concerns and hardships of the saw me may appear far away from venice. but in times of climate change and dwindling resources, they are more relevant than ever. now that these issues are pressing every one and now is a good time to listen to indigenous peoples who have preserved healthy environments for thousands of years. the irony of the fact that her powerful work, which began as a protest against the norwegian government, is now on display in the national museum,

and all slow has not been lost on her. she had massive doubts when she received the museum's invitation. we lost our case to the government and now the government should also own the art piece, you know, addressing if it was too hurtful to even think about. but then as time went by, i realized that this artwork really had used its powers. so i had a very good conversation with my father and his response was, are you crazy? of course you have to sell a heads. what are we supposed to do with them? margaret on her saga will continue to resist and use her all to educate about the face of her people. even of doing so, requires making a few compromises. the rain forest is burning. deforestation, and the brazilian amazon broke old records in 2022. is there any way of reversing

the unbridled destruction of this unique natural habitat that's been raging and recent years and can art play a role? my nose is an industrial city at the heart of the rain forest in the state of amazon, us a place where untouched nature meets urban life. emerson cautious previously studied biology and as a trans artist in performance is captured through photographs. emerson transforms into we route so dormer and resolve paints and decorates their body with organic materials becoming a hybrid natural, being the artist designs and creates the costumes, using plans from the garden or local surroundings. 6. this is from the very cheap army camera, but it's a water plant was don't kick when i touch it. it reminds me of water and one of animals. general i kill one

a king. i try the costume out here on the model or look better. also i can kind of see myself from the outside on the and so maybe this emerson was born in the village of missouri does campus in the amazon region of para and grew up seeing the diversity of nature later researching it scientifically . emerson connects all these experiences through art, academic with spiritual knowledge, environmental activism, with questions about gender. boy era is in a constant state of reinvention. our, you know, leader, i mean, as many faces, every photo gallery face tells a story on my thought a in. so in there are countless stories to tell me. i think grandpa like he

on here with our leader who is telling stories about the rio negro, her body, or did aid stories about rights. sotheby's in the meaning of mystery. by jove, if di diversity i see chris say good ed, and about the human urge to explore and discover everything which can lead to exploitation. and in the end destruction as we it up m a saw can return to their roots directing the western european explorers gays to the view of indigenous peoples as a trans person with both european and indigenous roots. emerson mediate between different worlds. though milton i work condemns these violations of life crystallize as, as viola. so it's not just the destruction of the environment on that other, so of the,

and also human social violations as well as i. so the eyes among i create a direct harold between these worlds is moving this back. the rain forest, metropolis of mouse and muscle portions was 5 years old when their family moved to the city. they enjoyed the advantages of urban life, but always thought contact with nature and indigenous ancestors, a or so on. those things is another. i belong to the indigenous peoples whose history are god has been erased out of the proper ball and who live in or near the city. dodge compares to displaced from their culture on this in community through the von booth. it's important that the world learned and brazil itself remembers that there are many different contexts in what it means to be an indigenous person . bukasa in the 21st century bipolar flooring. but have you ever saw was lucky to find a teacher who shared in their enthusiasm for nature and motivated m r saw to study

biology today. emerson is paying it forward by encouraging young people imparting knowledge through workshops and working for cultural institutions. and, and jose to save the amazon rain forest e poor. so i got thrown 4 years ago i finished my biology studies boss unable, which blew this baby. but i didn't become a biologist solely through academia, bay, nickos. k is and observing living beings as objects, toys as viva. school more be jad, those 4 m are saw. art is an attempt to portray how everything is interconnected. as we russel dumas, emerson brings together academic knowledge, ancient spirituality, and experience as a non binary transgender person. the state of being in between as well as the unity of these existences good on to find either the spiritual political good social,

i believe ecological rise. them being in climate crisis. is it we are experiencing today or he have arisen because we listen solely to our own needs. nice humans, woman's leader wants us to reflect on the whole is that the world merging with the environment like here in the forest with the centuries old tree art as a kind of ceremony that aims to bring us back to nature and a wake up call with a z this, there are many forms of life in our world comparison said o v, the life which deserves to be heard for experiment a soviet wish. if we want to preserve life, the own, the family must reserve all living things nay. offered through it. there is no
