An Exploration and Celebration of the Traditional Cultures of the World’s
Mountain Peoples
Mountain regions around the world are refuges for some of the globe’s most intact and colourful indigenous and traditional cultures. From Peru to Tibet to theAlps, mountain people maintain ways of life reflecting their mountain homes, and continuously adapt to the changing world around them.
Cultures at Risk explored and celebrated the mountain cultures of the world at a time when their pace of change seems faster than ever before. Through performances, exhibitions, panels and speakers, our audience was invited to decide whether these cultures are threatened or thriving.
