#17 Indigenous leaders calling for Rights of Nature
WWII gave us the Human Rights Code. The climate crisis is opening a new era in human relationship to Nature.
Okay, this one is a little biased because I was involved in producing this video and circulating it publicly. But the messages in it, and the art that composes it, isn’t mine.
Every time I watch it, I’m impressed again by the beauty of the message, the unity of the leaders, and their deep love and understanding of Nature.
In 2024, the leaders with whom we were friends from Savimbo said that the atrocities of WWII had led to the release and adoption of the Human Rights Code. They felt that the energy behind climate change, and the threats to Mother Earth, had opened an opportunity for a new era in human relationships to Nature.
See for yourself if their words resonate with you. I think this video is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
Maybe this is how art is if you really participate in making it, it doesn’t feel like yours at all. I don’t know I just know this is the one piece on my list I was involved in and it feels like it just happened near me and is equally as transcendent and involving as the other ones.
