Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion that brings together voices from the sciences, politics, and the arts to engage in a multifaceted exploration of the Amazon region. The event will delve into the Amazon’s complex past, its pressing nowadays challenges, and ponder visions for possible futures. Through an interactive format incorporating fiction, imagery, video, music, and other media, panelists will draw on their diverse disciplinary backgrounds and lived experiences to foster a dynamic dialogue that challenge existing views of the Amazon as merely "the lungs of the earth". The event is organised by the Prodigy research project (https://prodigy-biotip.org/) and the Institute for Latin American Studies (LAI/FU).
