“Before They Pass Away” Project by Photographer Jimmy Nelson

The Kazakhs are a semi-nomadic, pastoral people. Many families move several times a year with their herds between fixed seasonal settlements. Others with smaller herds stay closer to their winter home during the summer but will nevertheless set up a yurt (kiiz yi, meaning “felt house”). The summertime yurt (and to a lesser extent the winter house) is richly furnished with embroidered, felt and woven textiles. (Photo and caption by Jimmy Nelson)
