An interactive digital web project: Living Geographies
Living Geographies is an interactive digital project based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the Amazon and Siberia, developed in close collaboration with Indigenous communities. It challenges outsider perceptions of these regions as “wild” and “remote” by revealing them as living worlds—rich with meaning, relationships, and nonhuman persons.
Through a symbolic, interactive map, the project offers a miniaturized representation of these living geographies, highlighting elements that are culturally and spiritually significant to the communities. Each symbol opens a window into these worlds through videos, photographs,360 images, sounds, interviews, and narratives gathered from two Indigenous communities.
Living Geographies is a project of our resident Selcen Küçüküstel, an ecological anthropologist and storyteller. She finished her PhD at Humboldt University Berlin with a study on the nomadic Dukha reindeer herders of northern Mongolia, focusing on human-animal relationships. Her first book titled Embracing Landscape: Living with Reindeer, Hunting among Spirits was published in 2021 by Berghahn books.
She has also been working as a photojournalist for geography and culture magazines in Turkiye, producing stories from around the world, and has co-directed documentary films for international media outlets including ARTE. Trained in anthropology , she approaches filmmaking and visual storytelling as a form of research, aiming to reveal the depth and full complexity within the stories she tells.
To further develop this project, we need help, from reviewing all the research material and editing the videos to creating interactive elements and making the final project tangible. If you are interested and would like to support the preservation of nomadic knowledge from native communities, please write to carmen@akasha.barcelona and we can arrange a meeting in person or a video call.
[ And yes!..Selcen experienced being a reindeer herder .. 😉 ]
