Anthropogeos
the geography of people
THIS IS A PROJECT ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A PERSON AND A PLACE
looking at humans and their environments in the here and now reveals many unexpected parallels to contemplate. and this is what the anthropogeos project is all about.
The Anthropogeos team, along with international experts, have travelled to Antarctica, the Gobi Desert, Guatemala, Svalbard and many other parts of the world. The photos, video journals, travel notes, and interviews that we have brought back from the expeditions form the basis for our online travel experiences and offline events.
Traveler, philanthropist, team leader and serial-expeditionist.

How can places, with their natural landscapes and geographical features, affect ethno-social and cultural processes?
Is there a shared experience between the inhabitants of the mountains of the South Caucasus and the Swiss Alps, who live in similar natural conditions?
What’s the state of play with the colonization of Antarctica—the last uninhabited continent?

HIGHLANDERS. THE CAUCASUS & THE ALPS
The highest mountains in Russia and Switzerland, the Caucasus and the Alps. How do people live in these regions, on the one hand so similar, and on the other, so vastly different in terms of language, culture and history? The Anthropogeos team visited Dagestan, Azerbaijan and Switzerland to see for themselves whether there is any shared experience between the Lezgins and the highlanders of Europe.
Guatemala
How does the largest market in Central America, Santo Tomas Chichicastenango, work? How do traditional Mayan rituals coexist with Catholic church? How does the state's marketing strategy fit in with national identity? Observations of the life of one of the most interesting communities of modern Maya in Guatemala - in the first episode of “The Markets” project.
