Paper long abstract:
This is a very preliminary presentation building on ongoing research on I-Kiribati and Banaban women who are working at the intersections of heritage, traditional knowledge, environmental work, and the visual and literary arts. The Humans of Kiribati Facebook page and Instagram account depicts numerous visual stories and discussions of how women, young people, and I-Kiribati in general are navigating the challenging social, cultural, environmental and political effects of climate change and other contemporary and historical environmental crises. I will reflect on those stories and my observations during recent field work with two female community leaders on Tarawa.
