Calendar and Planner “NO WORDS 2025”
Discover the beauty of the Nuba Mountains and help preserve lives.
The photographs featured in the calendar and planner, arranged by month, capture the striking beauty of the indigenous peoples of the Nuba Mountains. They were taken in January 2024 in a region scarred by decades of foreign wars—wars waged with the backing of Sudan’s government forces and mercenary Janjaweed militias, bent on exterminating native communities and eradicating yet another of humanity’s last seeds.
On the back cover, we present several images of the first English colonialists (digitized from archives at Durham University Library). Their brutal exploitation and abuse of the indigenous population sowed the seeds of today’s SPLM army—composed of fathers, mothers, and children from Nuba families—who fight solely to protect their loved ones.
The oft-repeated truth that the Nuba must be safeguarded—because their preserved values of “being human” and their wisdom of survival may help rescue the “consumerist, modern, dulled and derailed human”—is underscored by photographs taken this October. These were captured during Tomo’s arduous journey through the Nuba Mountains, accompanied by his daughter Maja Križnar and niece Živa Ozmec, immediately after the rainy season ended. Their ultimate goal was to affix I feel Slovenia stickers to a transport vehicle purchased with your donations following the screening of the film Decay 2022. This vehicle has finally reached the Nuba Mountains, enabling the transport of leprosy patients to the Hospital of the Mother of Mercy. The mission would have failed without the constant, selfless assistance of passing locals, who rescued them repeatedly as engines sank into mud and torrential downpours struck without warning.
Proceeds from the calendar and planner will support:
- The survival of the indigenous peoples of the Nuba Mountains, who still know what it means “to be human.”
- Completion of the new documentary Letter to Europe, in which we aim to convey all that remains unsaid.
Every contribution counts and makes a difference—thank you sincerely.
