The USP Cultural Preservation Center/Casa de Dona Yayá will host a debate on November 7th about experiences and policies related to indigenous cultural heritage.
The activity is part of the program of the seminar “Indigenous Cultural Heritage in Debate – Concepts and Experiences”, held by Escola da Cidade in partnership with the CPC and the Museum of Indigenous Cultures.
The program starts this Wednesday, the 25th, at Escola da Cidade. And it continues with two more round tables on the 7th and 9th of November. The event will bring together experts, researchers and representatives of the indigenous community seeking to encourage debate around professional training and updating in the areas of preservation and conservation of cultural heritage. It also aims to promote exchange between different areas of knowledge and traditional indigenous knowledge. Participation is free, with no registration required.
The conversation cycle is part of the project “Challenges for the Protection of Indigenous Cultural Heritage – Atlantic Forest, Human and Non-Human Heritage in São Paulo”. The intention is to strengthen the cultural heritage of the territory of the Guarani Mbya, in the Jaraguá Indigenous Land, in the northwest part of the city of São Paulo, together with the Tenonde Porã Indigenous Land and the Krukutu Indigenous Land, both located in Parelheiros, in the southern region. The Guarani Mbya maintain an obstinate resistance for the survival of their people, against the abandonment of health services and land regularization, in dispute with non-indigenous families.
