Ethnographers Lucia Nimcova and David Petráš work together on audiovisual research in the Carpathian Mountains since 2020. They established the foundation nohami.com which creates sustainable conditions for preserving and sharing knowledge of people living in remote villages in the border-zone of Slovakia, Ukraine and Romania.<br>“We collect songs from older women with lyrics closely tied to their life stories. We volunteer with their needs. We learn to sing and play the instruments from local musicians. We experiment with when and how certain existences could be documented and shared with a wider public, understanding the importance of the specific contexts.”<br>Lucia Nimcová is an award-winning photographer and visual artist, David Petráš is a musician and sound artist.
