BIOGRAPHY
![BorisFamilleTanga](index_files/borisfamilletanga.jpg)
I am an
anthropologist and I received my PhD from Université Paris Cité. For the past thirty years, I have been exploring the intersecting fields of human sciences and cultural action with indigenous, peasant and urban communities on several continents.
Combining
anthropology and creative projects, I have carried out a series of innovative research and cultural action initiatives with communities of various sizes (from villages to large cities). In 1998, I founded ALTAMIRA, an international cultural action project for which I managed various
human and musical adventures in Asia and Africa as well as in my home town of Saint-Denis in France. These projects have resulted in many films, records and live performances highlighting the cultural resources of the local participants.
I worked academically on the study of the social organization of a peasant locality in Madagascar and its relationship to the nation-state (PhD dissertation), and am now interested in the impact of
family structures on human societies.
These multiple fields of action allow me to share
a vision of humanity and the world nourished by what I have learned from the men and women I have met all over the world.
