Taking its departure from the centuries-old tradition of long narratives recited by Yakut olonkhosuts during the long winter months, the AyarKut foundation’s online programme the “Terrestrial voices” aims to explore new forms of narration and storytelling, the peculiar listening capacities inherent to the cultures of the small peoples of Siberia, the interpretation of oral folk art, and perspectives of modern ethnography as seen from both the inside and out, and from the standpoint of sound. The distinct Yakut mythology finds reflection in the work of many artists who are seeking out various motif-thematic connections, stylistic devices, and creative principles in epic poetry.
“Terrestrial voices” includes:
10 audio mixtapes by Russian musicians interpreting the Yakut musical heritage and Olonkho (curated by Bulat Khalilov)
4 curated programmes of films and video art on indigenous issues in the format of an online streaming platform

With the arrival of winter, the populace of the north part of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is eager to get some extra supplies of vodka to forget about the biting cold and the lack of light. The temperatures are sinking beyond our European comprehension of cold (-35°C to -60°C), raising questions of food supplies as well. It’s the ideal time for people with practical thinking to come to some extra cash.
Most of the men from the area are working as truck drivers (such who are not damaged by alcohol addiction), secretive about the nature of their goods and destinations. It’s the war out there on the snowy roads to Kolyma and Magadan, with every ruble counting.
