Ava, a Nahua and Yucatàn Maya descendant, creator and intuitive healer who is on a personal journey of reconnecting with her ancestry, joins producer Albert to discuss the importance of supporting, preserving and celebrating our indigenous cultures, and living in deference to humanity’s first and best teacher, Mother Nature, which is at the core of Avatar’s ’artivism’ within the medium of filmmaking. She sheds light on the nuanced (and fascinating) grey area between ethnicities, communities and individuals, and the pair also dive into their shared kinship for various other subjects, including psychology, spiritualism and, of course, Avatar. Enjoy!
