Samenvatting

A NEW EDITION - MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER

Jimmy introduced us to his journey for the first time with Before They Pass Away (2013). For this first book Jimmy travelled across the world to meet people from thirty-five Indigenous cultures. The people portrayed in the book radiate from their pages questioning the viewer’s perception of wealth. In 2020, Jimmy re-launched Before They Pass Away, with new unpublished images and new insightful texts. With advances in new technology, the book transformed into a digital travel experience. Now every picture in Before They Pass Away is scannable with the free Jimmy Nelson App, revealing unique video content behind every picture and inviting you to become part of the journey.

"When you look at people - whoever and wherever they are in the world - often the truth is far different from what the eye beholds. Now more than ever before with the global pandemic, our eyes are going to have to open wider and brighter to observe others who in the past may have not given the respect that they deserve. With this humble perspective perhaps we can now find answers as to how we can reconnect with ourselves, each other and the natural world." - Jimmy Nelson

Foundation
With its projects, the Jimmy Nelson Foundation (JNF) is completing the circle Jimmy has started with his art. Besides raising awareness about Indigenous cultures, Jimmy has accumulated endless photo-, video- and research material which through the foundation are translated into a free education program called Cult-ED. With Cult-ED, children can travel digitally to faraway places, from Siberia and Mongolia to Peru and French Polynesia, to learn about unique cultures and traditions. Cult-ED inspires a younger generation to be more aware of the importance of human diversity and Indigenous knowledge on how to live in harmony with the nature around us. Additionally, the JNF supports the communities in preserving their cultural heritage for the future with its reciprocity projects, which are tailor-made programs initiated and run by the communities themselves to fit their needs.

Jimmy Nelson App
