TERRA BABEL | Saving Humanities Cultural Heritage
NONPROFIT | Terra Babel Project™ & United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs Indigenous Peoples | Case Study
Bridge the Gap Between Tribal Culture with Modern World for Ecological Sustainability & Social Protection.
Non-profit project designed to bring attention and support to Indigenous tribes and help create their cultural preservation. There is one language shared by the world which had been used since the beginning : Art.
Of all the forms, photography, the mapping of light, tells a story like no other. Through the photographic medium, we can share our realities instantly and build the bridges necessary to grow.
Terra Babel’s mission is to ensure the preservation of humanity's incredibly diverse & endangered cultures.
The project would use photography as the medium to allow native culture’s wisdom, knowledge, history & creative expressions to connect with our “modern” experiences & different realities beyond our borders, promoting a sense of unifying cultural understanding.
Through art, education & technology, we are allowed a rare glimpse into the core of our humanity as we embrace the 'Eye' of our imagination, ushering in a new level of understanding.

THE CHALLENGE | TAKING THE JOURNEY
The ethnosphere has now entered a crucial tipping point. Cultural diversity today is severely compromised and diminishing at an alarming rate. And a great indicator of that is the loss of our cultural artistic expressions, languages & philosophies being eliminated from history. These Cultures & Peoples represent remarkable diversity that once populated the world in the hundreds of thousands. Now only 5,000 distinct groups in some 90 countries remain. They make up more than 5 percent of the world’s population and are among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable. Many have been removed from their lands, denied their languages and traditional ways.
