Anthropogeos

the geography of people

THIS IS A PROJECT ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A PERSON AND A PLACE

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?

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.
