Details of the evening: Sunday 18th April, 5 – 7pm, Apollo Theatre, London
The anthology ‘We are One’ is a collection of statements from the world’s tribal peoples, from the Yanomami of the Brazilian Amazon, to the semi-nomadic Penan of Malaysia and the Innu of Canada’s sub-arctic tundra. These are supported by powerful essays and extracts from Richard Gere, Zac Goldsmith, Colin Firth, Bruce Parry, Jane Goodall, Joanna Lumley, Damien Hirst, Satish Kumar, Tony Juniper, Jonathan Porritt, Arundhati Roy, A.C. Grayling, Laurens van der Post, Doris Pilkington-Garimara, and many others.
The book is illustrated with photographs by leading photojournalists, including: Sebastiao Salgado, Mike Goldwater, Steve McCurry, Mirella Ricciardi, Carol Beckwith, Yann-Arthus Bertrand, Tim Allen, Claudia Andujar.
We Are One celebrates the lives, homelands, rituals, languages, ideas and values of tribal peoples and explores the relevance of their knowledge and beliefs to the present time. It is both a portrait of the beauty and diversity of tribal peoples, and a call to arms that examines many of the contemporary humanitarian and environmental issues inherent in their fight for survival.
Survival is a human rights organization that campaigns for tribal peoples, helping them to protect their lives, lands and futures.
