Join us for the screening of two documentaries from Nepal and Colombia that weave Indigenous visions of rivers, law, and justice beyond the human.
An interactive dialogue will follow with the Indigenous judge from Colombia’s Special Jurisdiction for Peace – protagonist of the Colombian film -, members of the Indigenous creative team from Nepal, and the project’s principal investigator moderated by filmmaker and climate activist Nic Balthazar.
The Free public screening will feature the two films:
- Marsyangdi Wile Ri’iba: May You Live as Long as the River, set in rural Nepal (synopsis and teaser)
- Aty Seikuinduwa: A Judge Between Worlds, (synopsis and teaser) filmed in Colombia.
Co-organised by ERC Project RIVERS, Human Rights Research Network, Human Rights Centre, Green Office, Conflict Research Group, Global Minds, and Ghent University Doctoral School.
In collaboration with Hello Symbiocene!
