Invisible Adaptation

Our featured speaker will be Brett Matthews. In 2012 Brett started a not-for-profit social enterprise, My Oral Village. He will discuss the learning path that led to its formation and that drives it today. From our Western vantage point, nearly a quarter of human species are almost invisible. Brett has spent much of his career learning from this population. They are subsistence farmers, mostly offline, living in oral cultures (in contrast to modern literate cultures). But they never ignore the modern world around them. In fact they sacrifice much trying to enter it or – failing that – crafting lives adapted to our alien ways.
Our musical performer will be Cassie Norton. www.cassienorton.com.
