Expedition Tribuga (Expedición Tribugá) film screening and discussion with filmmaker Felipe Mesa

November 8, 2022

6:30 pm

Uris Hall, G08

Co-sponsored by: Landscape Architecture, Department of Natural Resources

The balance that the Gulf of Tribugá is due to the cosmovision of the peoples that inhabit it, as well as the struggle that the same inhabitants undertake in defense of their territory. The documentary Tribugá Expedition leaves a clear message: if the place is intervened with megaprojects, not only would the ecosystem be put at risk, which is currently one of the few in the world that is preserved in good condition, but it would also attack the beliefs and ways of life of the Afro and Embera peoples.

El equilibrio que tiene el Golfo de Tribugá se debe a la cosmovisión de los pueblos que lo habitan, así como a la lucha que los mismos habitantes emprenden en defensa de su territorio. El documental Expedición Tribugá deja un mensaje claro: si se interviene el lugar con megaproyectos, no solo se pondría en riesgo el ecosistema, que actualmente es de los pocos en el mundo que se conserva en buen estado, sino que también se atentaría contra las creencias y formas de vida de los pueblos afro y Embera.

Digitalization in Africa: Impetus for Innovations and Development

October 28, 2022

9:00 am

G-08 Uris Hall

Hybrid mode / in-person at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY (USA)

Register:

The conference will focus on the digital era as an entrepreneurial transformative prototype in Africa. Other aspects of the conference will focus on the channels utilized by Africans while navigating digital instruments, developing well-thought programs and technological innovations. Although technology is easily transferred, the context of the beneficiary nation or community has to take into account optimal application. Africans are applying technology to open all possibilities and devising ways to promote the eradication of poverty. This conference will pivot on digital trajectories and projection into the future beyond the 21st century, exhibiting African innovative competence in the digital era as part of the most critical areas of a holistic organization towards thorough and more broadly social progress.
