Tyva is a mysterious land located in the heart of Asia, surrounded by mountains, deserts, and taiga. The Tuvans are the only people in the world who breed all major types of livestock, including some of the world's southernmost reindeer and some of the northernmost camels.
During our ethnographic expedition, we will visit traditional nomadic camps in the mountains of western Tyva, where yak breeders live, as well as in the desert bordering Mongolia, where camels are herded. We will also meet with shepherd herdsmen and the Todzha reindeer breeders.
Later in the expedition, we will explore the Valley of the Kings, where famous Argan tombs from the Scythian and pre-Scythian periods are hidden beneath mounds.
In a joint expedition organized by MZUNGU EXPEDITIONS, the Russian Geographical Society, and the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera), the team will be accompanied by an expert ethnographer from the Russian Geographical Society and an expert from the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, Peter the Great.
The participants of the expedition will have the opportunity to observe ethnographers at work in the field, collect ethnographic materials such as diary entries, photographs, sketches, and interviews, and attend a series of lectures delivered by scientists from Kunstkamera. The lectures will focus on topics such as nomadic culture, transformations in the material world, and methods of ethnographic research.
All participants will learn to understand culture from the inside and outside, combining the perspective of a local community member and an outsider.
We expect the results of the research and insights to be presented at a seminar at the headquarters of the Russian Geographical Society in St. Petersburg, as well as in academic publications.
