Storytelling for Change ft. Kiliii Yüyan

Of Nanai/Hézhè (East Asian Indigenous) and Chinese descent, he’s survived stalking polar bears, dived with sea snakes, and found kinship in some of the world’s most remote places. A National Geographic contributor and traditional kayak builder, Kiliii uses his lens to explore how humanity and nature are inseparably linked. His work has appeared in TIME, Vogue, and WIRED, and earned honors from Pictures of the Year, Leica, and more.

Storytelling for Change ft. Eman Mohammed

In this Storytelling for Change session, Eman Mohammed shares her journey of documenting the Palestinian genocide and the toll it takes, especially on children. The conversation moved beyond statistics as Eman shared the lived reality of survival and loss without romanticizing resilience. “This project has made me radically more intentional, deliberate, and mindful in every aspect of my storytelling. I deepened my science informed checklist for reporting under/about trauma, ensuring that documentation never becomes extraction and that ethical witness means sustained care, not just capture and run. I refuse to soften language for Western comfort: this is genocide, families are annihilated, and Gaza's healthcare system was deliberately targeted, I know first hand, how much precision holds resistance. By collaborating with the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Physicians for Palestine, I placed Rozan's story directly before audiences whose taxes and governments enable this violence, because true solidarity requires confronting complicity. And I no longer view publication as the end, securing Rozan's laptop, tablet, and shelter is part of the work. If we document destruction, we must help rebuild. I don't tell stories differently now, just better.” - Eman Mohammed Eman Mohammed is a Palestinian photojournalist and writer from Gaza whose work confronts the realities of occupation and genocide through intimate, long-term storytelling. A Senior TED Fellow, she focuses on Indigenous communities resisting erasure, using photography and written journalism as both evidence and witness.

Black Tigers: Behind the First Photographs

In this Storytelling for Change session, Prasen Yadav—a molecular ecologist turned National Geographic Photographer & Explorer—shares his journey from science to storytelling. “A great story has multiple ingredients. It’s about creating narratives that people are excited to hear, yet don’t know what will happen next. A story should resonate with the audience and feel fresh, something they haven’t encountered before. My background in both science and natural history, combined with a passion for wildlife, has guided me in crafting these stories.” Prasenjeet is one of the few photographers who integrates scientific research deeply into his visual narratives. His recent project focused on documenting pseudo-melanistic tigers in India’s Similipal Tiger Reserve—a rare population known for their striking dark patterns. Using camera traps, he succeeded in photographing these elusive tigers, a story later featured by National Geographic.

Timeless Rediscovery

“I knew I wanted my camera to be my passport—to see and experience the world as much as possible. To use it as a way to glimpse different cultures and geographies, to learn, understand, and connect with the stories that shape our shared humanity.” In this episode, Pia Harboure shares her project Time Doesn’t Seem to Freeze Here Anymore, an ongoing documentary essay that explores human achievement and exploration at the intersection of tourism, science, and the unexpected.
