Wisdom and Nature will raise awareness about the wisdom held by indigenous cultures regarding both society and the environment. Each tradition will be represented through photography and film clips providing an insight into these cultures, as well as a glimpse into ancient ecological wisdom and its mystical relationship with nature.
