It is with great anticipation and excitement that we are sharing a new initiative with everyone. FOM, in partnership with Lemon Press and the US-Asia Institute are announcing our inaugural "Mongolia Focus" newsletter.

The Mongolia Focus Newsletter is a compilation of short pieces from multiple contributors who have experience living or studying in Mongolia. We are aiming to cultivate a non-academic newsletter that introduces foreigners (especially Americans) to Mongolia and Mongolians through various lenses. This document is not meant to inspire discontent or anger in any way, but share perspectives from a multitude of sectors, communities, and people. We feature both Mongolians and Americans and will strive to be as inclusive as possible, sharing a wide variety of stories and perspectives.

We are grateful to all of our partners (Lemon Press and US-Asia Institute), as well as the contributors to this first piece. Their wealth of expertise and knowledge in the various subject areas offer great insight for the average American to learn about Mongolia and Mongolians. We acknowledge there are many individuals who have experiences and perspectives to offer about Mongolia and we hope to include everyone's contributions in a respectful manner.

We want to thank Ariun Sanjaajamts of Mongolian Cultural Council and Chinuukhei Bat-Erdene of Mongolia’s Permanent Mission to the UN for hosting our friend Asher Svidensky yesterday evening in New York for a discussion and Q&A on his film and visual story-telling work in Mongolian. 🇲🇳
It was a great turn out! 😎🙏

This is for our Friends/Найзууд in New York! 🗽
We’ve got an event at the Permanent Mission of Mongolia the UN, in cooperation with the Mongolian Cultural Council, with film-maker Asher Svidensky on Thursday, May 16 at 6:30pm. 🇲🇳🇺🇸

You need to register here as seating is limited: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfhCVzeVIxxzMwgY1IARnubQwUd2NNEE0ibtRoe4rHYhHz5ow/viewform?usp=sf_link

Event Address: Permanent Mission of Mongolia to the UN, 6 E.77th St, New York, NY 10075

Mr. Svidensky is a photographer, filmmaker, and visual storyteller who has spent the past several years living and working in Mongolia. He has been involved with high profile cinematic work like The Eagle Huntress, but also has worked with UNICEF, the Nature Conservancy, People in Need, the Swiss Development Cooperation, and the Ministry of Environment & Tourism of Mongolia on ecologically and nature-themed films such as his own short film, Changing Skies. This event will be a talk given by Mr. Svidensky about what led him to Mongolia, and his work there in visual storytelling and film as it relates to social and environmental themes. This will be followed by an open question-and-answer session. Light snacks and drinks will be served, but seating is limited so please register if you would like to attend.

An interesting and different perspective from the dominant narrative.

Mongolia’s Neoliberal Turn Has Been an Ecological Disaster Mongolia is experiencing a disastrous winter with alarming consequences for its agricultural output. Reports have highlighted the negative impact of climate change, but the country’s neoliberal transformation since the 1990s is the biggest factor.
