Who Is Nature? An interactive panel

First Nation communities across the world often describe nature not as a resource to be extracted but as a living entity. Nature is not a 'what' but a 'who'.

Who Is Nature? is an interactive 360-degree film exploring the intimate and ceremonial relationship between individuals, cultures, and the natural world.

Satisfy your wanderlust and be transported from Western Australia, sculpted by the Dreamtime serpent Beemarra, to a sacred Mayan lake in Mexico, to an Afro-Cuban harvesting ceremony in a Havana medicinal forest.  Chart your own journey by triggering interviews with community elders, together with maps and texts that illuminate their perspectives.

Watch the film on any flatscreen device (computer, tablet, phone) or enjoy the full immersive experience with a VR headset.

Then, learn more about the sites and cultures featured in the film at the live and interactive panel discussion on Tuesday, 16 November.
