LIVES on the EDGE: Voices from forest-agriculture frontiers in Central Africa and Southeast Asia
Abstract
The FairFrontiers project has carried out interdisciplinary research in forest-agriculture frontiers since 2022. We are pleased to share our research findings, methods and approaches in a public exhibition at the Kyoto Human Rights Research Institute on January 12-19, 2026.
The exhibition will feature interactive stories, photos, videos, maps and cultural pieces from field sites in Central Africa (Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo) and Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia). In addition, there will be a section highlighting the perspectives of project researchers and collaborators, their reflections on frontiers and their hopes and aspirations for the research.
