ÚNA, standing for Uniting Narratives with Arts, is a nonprofit two-day festival aiming to foster a cultural and educational bridge between Latin America and Scotland, to ultimately raise awareness on diversity, environmental and socio-political issues on both ends. The core of our dialogue will explore myths and tales as a way to uncover parallels and contrasts between both ethnic backgrounds. Through a series of talks, panel discussions, art exhibition and film screenings, ÚNA will create a cross-cultural exchange, blur the boundaries, and raise the voices of marginalized Indigenous peoples and Gaelic communities in Latin America and Scotland respectively.

The multicultural aspect of NZSTI’s 2019 Conference theme adds resonance to the United Nations International Year of Indigenous Languages. When speakers of different languages meet, the encounter is cultural as well as linguistic, and part of the reality of life not only in Aotearoa-New Zealand but in many countries throughout the world. In an increasingly multicultural world, the translating and interpreting professions, dedicated to promoting communication and understanding between peoples and cultures, have a more vital role than ever before in the resolution or mitigation of conflict, in the enhancement of life and civilization.

In the second edition of the project Brazil: the margin, the Centro de Artes da Universidade Federal Fluminense (Fluminense Federal University Arts Center) will be open, from April 24th to 30th, to Teko Porã, which in Guarani language means well living in the community. Notably in this year 2019, declared by UNESCO as the International Year of Indigenous Languages, we reiterate the words of Prof. José Bessa Freire: “A language contains in it all the territory where it is spoken, in the means that it classifies, names, describes, evaluates, hierarchizes and gives meaning to everything in it flora, fauna, geographical accidents, enchanted and disenchanted beings that inhabit it, as well as beliefs and knowledge that reveal the relationship between them”. The programming will consist of conferences, debates, art exhibition, seminars, film sessions, concerts and Indigenous Handicrafts Fair.

En mission de recherche dans le Sud du Tchad pour documenter la culture d’une petite société, les Láàl, l’ethnologue-réalisatrice Sandrine Loncke est frappée par le multilinguisme des habitants. Les sociétés qui peuplent le coeur du continent africain forment une telle mosaïque qu'il n’est pas rare d'y croiser des villageois parlant six à sept langues. Mais pour combien de temps encore ? Cette projection sera suivie d’une discussion avec la réalisatrice et des linguistes de terrain travaillant sur les langues « en danger » en Afrique, tous issus du laboratoire LLACAN (Inalco/CNRS).

La exhibición artística Uyayta Shuyuchi - Visualizar lo Sonoro reúne obras contemporáneas de artistas kichwas y no kichwas entre emergentes y de mediana trayectoria, de cuyos contenidos e imágenes se desprenden valores simbólicos portadoras de historias, memorias, fantasías e imaginación, y nos aproximan visualmente con el significado metafórico de las sabidurías inmersas en las lenguas originarias.

En la actualidad, la mayoría de las lenguas indígenas de las Américas se encuentra en peligro de extinción. Esta situación se debe tanto a la estigmatización de las lenguas autóctonas como a flujos migratorios y procesos de globalización. No obstante, los avances tecnológicos y la interconexión global también han generado nuevos vehículos de expresión para hablantes nativos como, por ejemplo, medios digitales de comunicación, diferentes géneros de música etc. Este panel reune investigaciones que exploran el potencial de los medios públicos mencionados en el fomento y la preservación futura de las lenguas indígenas de las Américas.

Within the context of the International Year of Indigenous Languages 2019, this high-level dialogue aims to raise global attention on the critical risks confronting indigenous languages and their significance for sustainable development, reconciliation, good governance and peacebuilding. Furthermore, the panel will build synergies and contribute to the ongoing discussions across different WSIS Action Lines.

Pendant une grande partie du 20e siècle, les agents gouvernementaux des services sociaux étasuniens ont systématiquement placé les enfants amérindiens dans des familles non-autochtones. Dans les années 1970, un enfant amérindien sur quatre à travers le pays était encore placé en famille d'accueil, d'adoption ou au sein de foyers non-amérindiens. De nombreux enfants ont subi des dommages émotionnels et physiques dévastateurs de la part d'adultes qui les ont maltraités et ont essayé d'effacer leur identité culturelle, les empêchant notamment de parler leurs langues. Aujourd'hui, pour la première fois, ils peuvent partager leurs histoires. Véritable plongée dans les coulisses de la première Commission Vérité et Réconciliation qui s'est tenue aux États-Unis de 2003 à 2006, Dawnland porte ces histoires à l'écran avec tact et profondeur, levant enfin le voile sur cette histoire tragique de vol d'enfants et de survie culturelle.
