From Emmy Award-winning director Lynette Wallworth and the Amazonian Yawanawa people, Awavena is a stunning tale of metamorphosis told through cutting edge VR and AR technology.
For the Amazonian Yawanawa people, 'medicine' has the power to take you inside a vision to a place you have never been. By collaborating with Emmy-award winning Australian artist Lynette Wallworth, Hushuhu, the first woman shaman of the Yawanawa is able to use VR to open a portal to another way of knowing.
Awavena is a collaboration between an artist and a community melding technology and transcendent experience so that a vision can be shared, and a story told of a people ascending from the edge of extinction. Awavena is an unmissable experience and a gift from the Yawanawa at a time of peril.
The workfirst premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and screened at the World Economic Forum in Davos and the 2018 Venice International Film Festival. It is the second in a series of mixed-reality works by Lynette Wallworth and producer Nicole Newnham, following on from their Emmy Award-winning VR film Collisions.
Presented in association with Perth Festival
Supported by AGWA Principal Partner and Perth Festival Visual Arts Program Partner Wesfarmers Arts
