This lecture looks at the place occupied by indigenous cultures in today's globalised world. At a time when the world is confronted with economic insecurity, ecological instability and endemic cultural dilution, Michael Walling points towards alternative approaches to living which embody the struggle for physical and cultural survival in the face of environmental insecurity, corporate aggression and the criminalization of indigenous lifestyles and social protests. The lecture explores some of the ways in which indigenous artists are drawing off their rich cultural inheritances to confront and resist the global concerns facing us today. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the on the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/culture-and-resistance-indigenous-responses-to-a-globalised-world Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
