About
FELIX PHARAND D. Cultural Anthropologist specialized in ethnogeography, his researches have emphasized on natural hazard perceptions, ‘sense of place’ and landscape sacralization in the Māori culture of New Zealand. In parallel to his academic studies, he has worked for 10 years as a scientific communicator in various domains, including cosmology, planetology, Earth sciences, paleontology and ecology, for various private and public institutions. Together with his long-standing love for nature, these paths have lead him to focus on the Earth’s biosphere and the multiple impacts caused by human activities. Felix created Globaïa, an organization dedicated to communicate a scientifically accurate yet artistic portrait of our world—its origins, its diversity, its patterns, its current state and the trends it is following—with a particular focus on climate change, the biodiversity crisis and the resilience of societies to global change.
Felix collaborates to the Artcirq project by leading its environmental section with a special interest in climate change in the Arctic. Artcirq is the first Inuit circus, based in Igloolik, Nunavut, in the Canadian Arctic. It has been co-founded by Guillaume Ittukssarjuat Saladin, his brother. A blend of traditional games and modern circus, Artcirq is an inspiring and creative project dedicated to build youth's sense of identity and self-confidence through artistic expression and inter-cultural sharing. Over the years, Globaïa and Artcirq have thus developed a synergy where Felix's design skills and environmental background are contributing to Artcirq achievement and visibility. Their partnership with Igloolik Isuma Productions, an independent Inuit film production company, and Isuma.tv, an Internet video portal for indigenous filmmakers, is now evolving in various documentary projects on indigenous and environmental issues.
