ETHNOMAD
From Research and Projects to Campaigns and Inspiring Stories
Ethnomad is a global initiative committed to supporting Indigenous, tribal, traditional, and minority communities through ethnographic research, community-driven projects, and advocacy campaigns. Our work in the field focuses on documenting and safeguarding cultural heritage, empowering displaced people, and supporting artisans to preserve their traditions and livelihoods. From remote regions to challenging environments, we collaborate closely with communities to amplify their voices and create meaningful, sustainable solutions.
Through these efforts, we aim to celebrate and preserve the beauty and diversity of human culture. Much of this vital work informs our flagship publication, Fading Cultures Magazine, where we share stories of resilience, artistry, and unique ways of life with the world.

WHAT WE DO
Research & Document
Our documentation process is rooted in ethnography—the art of understanding and representing cultures through deep engagement. We work hand-in-hand with communities, gathering stories from the people who live them. By listening to firsthand accounts, observing traditions, and immersing ourselves in local ways of life, we ensure that each story is authentic and deeply connected to the community it represents. This collaborative approach allows us to capture the resilience, beauty, and diversity of human culture in its truest form.

Project Support
Building on our research and the needs we identify, we develop projects that address the priorities of communities, artisans, and their ways of life. These projects range from educational initiatives and livelihood programs to cultural preservation efforts, sustainable tourism, and shelter development. We also work on education, conservation and environmental projects that protect traditional lands and resources while empowering communities to thrive. Each project is designed collaboratively, ensuring that it respects and upholds the cultural identity and aspirations of the people we serve.
