Indigenous Communities - Crossing Borders Through Art

In this Podcast we interview Michael Wailing of Border Crossings

Michael runs an Enfield-based arts organisation called Border Crossings. One of the things they organise is a Festival of Indigenous cultures called ORIGINS. The current edition is very focussed on climate issues. They will be at Cop26 with a totem, carved by a Totonac artist from Mexico .
Many indigenous communities face environmental insecurity, corporate aggression and the criminalisation of indigenous lifestyles and social protests.

We discuss with Michael how Border Crossings encourages intercultural dialogue between artists, audiences and communities, working through theatre and the arts to facilitate mutual understanding, creative collaboration and positive development
