 Agit Kino: tell them we’re for peace.” In the months before we began to le
 arn about the world-altering scale of the Covid-19 pandemic, I was teachi
 ng at a University in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk and preparing to re
 turn to a distant northern village after many years away. One Indigenous E
 venki friend said to me at that time, “we are far from war and pestilence
 , these things just pass us by.” The world of armed conflict and infectio
 us disease, seen from the Central Siberian Plateau, does seem far away a
 t times. And yet that place, too, has been touched by disease and forced
  military conscriptions. Despite a sense of remoteness and the feel of a r
 adically different pace for life, Evenkiia’s ‘magnitude of difference’ be
 lies a density of shared experience. In this paper I explore insights from
  a nearly twenty-five-year friendship that has been renewed and sustained 
 through social media and direct messaging. After sharing a series of photo
 s my friend wanted me to include in an ethnographic art installation, he 
 wrote: “And tell them we’re for peace”— this message became the centerpiec
 e of our collaboration. The photograph in these conditions builds on a uni
 que mode of personal exchange: we remember each other’s visage and being t
 hrough the surface of the image but our care for one another emerges throu
 gh its density.  This work explores the shared and divergent temporalities
  of distant relations through the social space of photographs. Craig Campb
 ellAssociate Professor, Department of Anthropology at the University of T
 exas at Austin I have been conducting anthropological research in Siberia 
 since the late 1990s. I have written extensively on themes associated with
  photography, multimodal anthropology, Siberia and the Yenisei North, c
 ulture and political struggles of Indigenous Siberians, travel and mobili
 ty, and socialist colonialism. In 2014 I published a book called Agitatin
 g Images: Photography Against History in Indigenous Siberia. I have been w
 orking on ‘future feelings’ and the cultural history of an unbuilt hydro-e
 lectric dam in subarctic Krasnoyarsk Krai. I have also been exploring the 
 utility of the concept of ‘borealism’ in the context of Indigenous Siberia
 . Most recently I mounted an exhibition titled Agit Kino: and tell them we
 ’re for peace in Austin, Texas. I am the lead editor for a photo essay ma
 gazine called Writing with Light and one of the directors of the Bureau fo
 r Experimental Ethnography. I am Assistant director of the Center for Russ
 ian, East European, and Eurasian Studies and am a member of the Native A
 merican and Indigenous Studies advisory council at the University of Texas
  at Austin.  \n\nSponsors \nCentre for European, Russian, and Eurasian S
