Entitled ‘Foreigners Everywhere’, the 2024 Venice Biennale has at its core the exploration of identity. The international show is notably - and for some anachronistically - organised into national pavilions. Prompted by the theme, many countries have chosen to examine ideas of nationhood, belonging and foreignness. Collectively, however, this also raises the question of how valid the Biennale’s division of exhibitors into national showrooms continues to be. ‘You are always, deep down inside, a foreigner’The 60th edition of the international exhibition, curated by Adriano Pedrosa, takes its tit...

Matthew Walley's eyes sweep over the large forest that has sustained his Indigenous community in Liberia for generations. Even as the morning sun casts a golden hue over the canopy, a sense of unease lingers. Their use of the land is being threatened, and they have organised to resist the possibility of losing their livelihood. In the past year, the Liberian government has agreed to sell about 10 per cent of the West African country’s land - equivalent to 10,931 square kilometres - to Dubai-based company Blue Carbon to preserve forests that might otherwise be logged and used for farming, the p...

By Sarah Sax In late December 2023, when communities in the southeastern Peruvian province of Cotabambas received a copy of proposed modifications to the Las Bambas copper mine, they were at first surprised, and then frustrated. The document, which arrived between Christmas and New Year’s, contained a proposal to almost double the mining operation but lacked detailed studies on its environmental impact on aquifers, wetlands and rivers, which are crucial to the communities. Yet, they were given mere weeks to send in comments. In response, around a dozen organizations sent a letter to the agency...

On Sunday night, Rio de Janeiro surrendered to the festivities of its legendary carnival. The city's Sambadrome was dyed in every possible colour with the parades of samba schools. But one of them brought a very special, and unusual, plea to the show. Salgueiro's samba school paid tribute to the Yanomami people, the largest Indigenous group in Brazil, and called for a stronger fight against illegal mining on their land. Their floats showed a severed tree trunk, with a performer playing a Yanomami mother trying to protect her child, and other floats featured massive sculptures of Yanomami peopl...

From a classroom in the Amazon's tallest treehouse, young Peruvians are learning how to defend their rainforest home. Nestled in the crown of a strangler fig tree, the rangers have a bird’s eye view over the canopy. It’s an education in itself, says Juan Julio (JJ) Durand, vice president of Junglekeepers - a nonprofit which conserves threatened habitat in the Madre de Dios (Mother of God) region of Peru’s Amazon. “Not only does it look beautiful, but [the students] can also see how much biodiversity there is from the top of the treehouse,” says JJ, who is part of the nearby Ese-Eja Indigenous ...
