Welcome to Ethnomad
& the World of Living Heritage
We work alongside tribal, Indigenous, traditional, and minority communities in hard-to-reach regions, documenting their way of life and resilience against displacement, exclusionary conservation and development pressures.
Through ethnographic research and storytelling, we bring you Fading Cultures Magazine, our flagship publication dedicated to capturing the voices, traditions, and artistry of communities facing cultural erosion.
Beyond documentation, funds from our magazine allow us to actively support projects from livelihoods, environment and education to land rights, ensuring that these communities' way of life continues to be respected and thrive on their terms.
"ALWAYS EXPLORING"
OUT NOW
Begin with "50 Years in Exile", a powerful look at the Saharawi people and their struggle in the Sahara. In "Beyond Vows", discover wedding traditions from around the world. "Finding Our Way" explores how humans have navigated across land and sea, from stars to satellites. Dive into the healing wisdom of Ayurveda, and journey through the vibrant markets of Cyprus to uncover the stories they hold.
Go behind the scenes of our latest fieldwork in India as we follow the Gurjar children of Sariska preparing for their exams—outperforming urban schools despite having no electricity. We share early glimpses from our upcoming film Daughter of the Forest and reflect on the resilience of tribal education. Plus, meet our interns on the ground in India and Indonesia, get a preview of stories in the next magazine issue, and discover how your support helps keep living heritage alive.
Join us on a visual journey into the heart of living heritage. From the remote forests of Rajasthan to the disappearing art of Rogan painting in Pakistan, our short films and field stories bring you face-to-face with the communities who keep tradition alive. Watch behind-the-scenes moments, artisan interviews, cultural rituals, and updates from our global ethnographer interns. Subscribe to follow our journeys—and help keep these voices heard.
