Team: DDTlab, Tomo Križnar, Bojana Križnar Pivk and the Trbovlje Newmedia Setting (TNM)

Tomo Križnar is a human rights activist and world traveler who has been dealing with indigenous cultures around the world for decades. As a Human, he persistently pursues his vision of feeling their everyday life and showing their vulnerability through various social media. Time and time again, he seeks innovative media approaches to protect surviving indigenous peoples from outside intrusions into their intimacy.

You could experience a bit of insight into indigenous cultures with a virtual reality headset at the DigitalBigScreen festival in 2019.  Tomo Križnar recorded the paramount 360° videos together with his wife, activist, and human rights activist Bojana Pivk Križnar. As a spectator and listener, technology takes us to the indigenous world of acting, singing, and dancing in the Nuba Mountains, the Blue Nile, Sharafat, and Komoganza.

Applicability:
• an anthropological document depicting the life of the tribes in the Nuba Mountains,
• an innovative way of getting to know cultures that are distant to us,
• an innovative way of learning about the life of unique and rare tribes.
