NOKISANORI - OUR EYES: Ashaninka Photographers collective.

A PROPOSED SECOND WORKSHOP for the project is in development with TSIMI & ECOTRIBAL if you are interested in supporting this project please contact us for Proposal and budget.


AIMS: Create an exhibition and archive of photographs and information regarding the most ecologically and culturally important trees and plants in their forest. The results will be used by the Asháninka for education and advocacy (e.g. within TSIMI’s newly established Centre for Rainforest Education and Interpretation).

 

 

 

 


 

 
 

 

THE FIRST WORKSHOP: INTRODUCTION TO THE CAMERA
The first workshop involcved twenty-one students from seven communities some more than 5 hours walk away.
It culminated in an exhibition held in the Rainforest, of large prints on plastic paper, and the making of 7 "talking books" of photographs with captions spoken in Ashaninka by each student - so that the project could be shared with elders and other communities further afield.
