In northern Africa, around two million Tuareg live on approximately two million square kilometres of extremely dry desert landscape spread across several states. Their lifestyle is minimalist and sustainable.

The Tuareg have developed strategies for such an extreme habitat, such as an effective transport and recycling system. Their use of space is strictly regulated and at the same time optimised.

In her lecture, Anja Fischer will provide insights into the sustainable strategies of the Tuareg nomads. Fischer teaches at the Institute of Cultural and Social Anthropology at the University of Vienna. From 2002 to 2012, she lived and researched with Tuareg nomads in the Central Sahara for several months every winter. In 2016, Anja Fischer worked as a consultant for the UNHCR in Tuareg refugee camps in Burkina Faso. In 2022, she curated a Tuareg exhibition at the National Museum of Qatar.  She runs the website www.imuhar.eu.
