ABOUT / CONTACT

EcoRove is a collaborative, multi-media, research-based project examining the politics of critical zones and the livelihood of humans and non-human species who dwell in them. The initiative seeks to engage and expose a broad spectrum of voices and practices that narrate, document, and design the complex relationships that define ecosystems.

“هجرات بيئية – إيكُروف” هو مشروع تعاوني متعدد الوسائط، قائم على الأبحاث حول سياسات المناطق الحرجة وسبل عيش البشر والأنواع غير البشرية التي تعيش هناك. تسعى المبادرة إلى إشراك وكشف مجموعة واسعة من الأصوات والممارسات التي تروي وتوثق وتصمم العلاقات المعقدة التي تحدد النظم البيئية
