Summary: There I was, an Indian woman on the move in a strange new land - Mongolia - and it didn't feel so strange. So much resonated - especially the voices of other women - like Monjago, a nomadic herder, Munkhtsetseg, a horse trainer, Onika, a student, Amgalan, a language teacher and Jainaa, a singer. They made faraway feel like home. Produced by Shebana Coelho for Outer Voices. Visit www.storiesfromthesteppe.com for a multimedia version of the piece featuring photos and audio.
This is a great piece. I used to live in Mongolia and Ms Coelho's work really transports me back to this incredible place. I like her use of sound and the way she creates her sound-scape with voices and natural sound. I particularly enjoyed the segment on Amgalan -- truly inspiring. Great work! Even if you've never been to Mongolia, this work will put you right there on the vast steppe.
