Beyond Carbon takes a two-pronged approach using technological prototypes and cultural interventions because we believe that multiple ways of knowing are needed to understand, advocate for, and respect the stewardship traditions of communities on the frontlines of climate and environmental change.

Our current work has two components: (1) a data visualization prototype that explicitly connects forest carbon data with Indigenous and Local Communities’ (IPLC) stewardship practices; and (2) an immersive video installation that places different datasets into conversation with each other to encapsulate the deep interdependence between humans and our more-than-human planetary co-dwellers.

Both components are ongoing collaborations with elders, women, and youth technologists of Mekar Raya village in West Kalimantan, Indonesia; and our in-country partners Working Group of ICCAs in Indonesia (WGII) and Tropenbos Indonesia.
