A boy swimming in the An River, a spot in Punan Adiu Forest, North Kalimantan Province of Indonesia. Punan philosophy states that the forest is their mother. They were born from her womb, and she provides life to the Punan like a mother breastfeeding her children.

When the surrounding extractive industries threaten their ancestral forest, the Punan Adiu Indigenous Community in Indonesia successfully protected their land through participatory mapping and forest registration. In 2017, after many long years of deliberation and endless negotiation, the Malinau District Government granted a legal decree on recognition and protection of 17.415 hectares of the Adiu’s community land.

Making of for our ArtIQulate Issue 04 - Climate Change 😊

This week, we had the pleasure to visit the printing factory and the people who are taking care of the print of our magazine from the PDF to finish, like a freshly baked bun straight out of the oven!

The magazine will be ...ready in just a few weeks' time and send out to all authors. Fellows who contributed to the magazine and are attending #AMLA24 will receive their copies during the event!

The 4th edition of "ArtIQulate - Climate Change" has been published!!

The fellows of KAS as well as the independent journalists who submitted their stories have done tremendous work on the articles and photographs in this magazine.

We selected climate change as a topic ...for this edition of ArtIQulate because it is one of the most significant issues of our time. Climate change will affect everyone, but Asia is particularly affected in the present moment, as the rapid urbanisation of Asia’s mega-cities poses unique challenges. Heat waves have swept the region from Dubai to the Philippines, combined with urban flooding caused by heavy rainfall in the recent weeks.

Apart from the heat, fear of climate change is in the air. The journalists such as Alex Nguyen @cheocheocho, Michael Eko @mikeeko, Mumin Gul @mumingul and Mounis Bin Muzafar Khan @mounisbinmuzafarkhan care for their communities and the environments that surround them.
Photojournalists like Lisa Marie David @lisamariedav, Jilson Tiu @jilson.tiu, Mayank Makhija @_mayankmakhija, and Flint Osric Gorospe @flintosric_04 are able to uncover new perspectives and tell vivid stories of smaller countries and places that might have never reached the public otherwise, as well as articles about indigenous communities who have been preserving nature and weaving hope for the climate for centuries.

Asia’s vulnerabilities to climate change are generally highlighted as the typical issues affecting the rest of the globe: rising temperatures and the following natural disasters. However, ArtIQulate sets focus on lesser-discussed topics such as Naimur Rahman @naimurjo and Rafia Tamanna's @rafiatamanna joint article on women’s health difficulties caused by limited water supply; and Anton L. Delgado's @antonldelgado_ three wonderfully written articles on biodiversity and renewable energy, and the disappearing forest.

We will be in the company of climate change related issues for the long run. To read more about it, please download the magazine for free via our website: kas-media.asia/publications/

The 4th issue of our magazine "ArtIQulate - Climate Change" is now available as a free download on our website!
https://kas-media.asia/publications/

The call for submissions for the 5th edition of ArtIQulate - The Decade of Women | The Decade of Men has been extended until the 12th of August!

While we received a large number of success stories in regards to women, we are still looking for stories around men, for example: Men are still ...too dominant, too privileged.—Men must change to survive in a modern world.—Men, dare to be men again! What are your thoughts? What are your experiences?

Please send in your articles via: https://forms.gle/owVftjHLLUghsKAb8

Journalists from Asia with or without connection to the Adenauer Fellowship are welcome to submit stories, reportages, photo essays, multimedia stories, and suggestions for cover photographs.

Selected submissions will be paid depending on the complexity of the article. Payments will be made after the print is confirmed.

We look forward to receiving your submissions!
