Ten Days 
Lynette Wallworth: Visionary
Awavena
45 mins
Awavena is a stunning tale of metamorphosis in the Brazilian Amazon told through virtual reality headset.
Wallworth was invited to create Awavena during a time of peril and potential for the Yawanawa community. As they fight to protect nearly 200,000 hectares of Amazonian forest, the Yawanawa have chosen VR technology as means of sharing with the world the cultural rejuvenation that occured when they put an end to rigid gender roles. Made in collaboration with Hushahu – the first female shaman of the Yawanawa people – the virtual and mixed reality experience opens a portal to this vivid, scarcely seen forest world.
The experience is in two parts:
– Part 1 runs for 17 minutes and is a seated experience.
– Part 2 runs for 6 minutes and is an active experience.
Bookings are required for this experience.
