SUMMARY:Culture, Country and Carbon: An exchange across the Timor Sea
LOCATION:Cinema Room
DESCRIPTION:Culture, Country and Carbon: An exchange across the Timor Sea (
 Wai Mata Films, 18 mins: English/Tetum)\nLisan: The importance of culture i
 n carbon forestry in Timor-Leste (Wai Mata Films, 12 mins: English/Tetum/Ma
 kasae)\nDir: Lisa Palmer, The University of Melbourne\nThis session examine
 s the experience of two Indigenous communities, from Timor-Leste and Austra
 lia, who are involved in carbon trading schemes planting trees and managing
  fire. While the exchange between these Timorese and Australian Indigenous 
 community members is grounded in the shared experience of violent and oppre
 ssive colonial legacies, both groups are now focussed on the socio-cultural
  and environmental repair of their communities. Despite vastly different po
 stcolonial circumstances, broadly shared Indigenous governance practices un
 derpin their ongoing struggles over land, resources, food, language, and cu
 ltural recognition. In this context, carbon markets are valued as one way o
 f enabling Indigenous wellbeing and potentially increasing the outside valu
 e and recognition given to Indigenous governance processes.\nForegrounding 
 the Indigenous governance, labour and more-than-human care involved in the 
 schemes, the first film Lisan examines the ways in which farmers in Timor-L
 este program grow trees to sell carbon credits to the international market.
  This reforestation initiative is locally founded and controlled. It is bui
 lt upon lisan, the deep social relationships people have with each other, t
 heir environment and their ancestors.\nThe second film Culture, Country and
  Carbon makes visible the diverse capacities, skills and customary structur
 es on which these locally produced environmental markets depend in two nati
 on-state contexts. It encourages viewers to question why some forms of gove
 rnance and labour are made or remain invisible and unvalued, and suggests n
 ew ways of thinking about the work, care and responsibility underpinning su
 ch schemes.
