txaju petywu: awaete narratives to regenerate - marytykwawara collective, Brazil
The Txaju Petywu: Awaete Narratives to Regenerate podcast series approaches the current ethnoecological world crisis from the cosmovision of the recently contacted indigenous Awaete-Assurini of Xingu (Amazônia, Pará, Brasil) who are being impacted by Belo Monte hydroelectric project. Through the stories of the creation and the end of Awaete's worlds, the spiritual leader Pajé Time’i will address the present Covid-19 pandemic and the global crisis, guiding us not only through the trajectory of the Assurini people and the challenges faced in their social and cultural construction, but also, their futures, just like those Karai's (non-indigenous), which will not be the same.
This series will be divided in five episodes: Mayra, Urerekakatute, Uajare, Yarakinga and Recapture. In Mayra, he will tell us about the conception and creation of the world. Urerekakatute is about the "Awaete's well being", the symbiosis between his people and the territory. Uajaré, tells of the moment the world ended, as a consequence of the imbalance of the learning from the "well being". In the fourth episode, Yarakinga, Time’i will guide us through the encounter between his people and the Karai (non-indigenous), an event initiated through the dream world. In the last part, the Awaete's Recapture, we bring all of these experiences to the present moment, in which the temporality and the technologies between the two cultures cross each other.
