The objective of the ST-ASGM project is to consider whether a transformative approach towards sustainability can arise in Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM). Supporting the livelihoods of millions of people in low and lower middle income countries, ASGM has potential to contribute to sustainable development across the 17 SDGs. However, negative impacts generate critical barriers to sustainability. Anthropology is an entry point for an interdisciplinary approach to better conceptualize the dynamic, heterogeneous reality of ASGM and to identify potential for sustainable transformations in these shifting social settings. Capitalizing on existing ASGM partnerships, this research forms the basis for a trans-continental and trans-national project organized within 7 Work Packages for integrated comparative sustainability tracking between South America, West Africa and East Africa. To add value to global research efforts, 'Sustainability Conversations' will enhance impact, co-producing knowledge with mining actors to understand sustainability from miners' own perspectives. A strategic evidence-based summary 'Visions and Vistas for Sustainable Futures in ASGM' will contribute to policy influence. Giving creative expression to people's understandings of sustainable mining futures and building impact, is an exciting collaboration between African photographers from NUKU studios, Ghana, and the Museum of Ethnography of Material Culture, the Netherlands. This incorporates the co-production of visual images with African and Brazilian gold miners, as the basis of a travelling exhibition 'Moving Mine Matters' between West and East Africa, Brazil and Europe.

ST-小规模采金业项目的目标是考虑手工和小规模采金业能否产生一种实现可持续性的变革性方法。小规模采金业支持低收入和中低收入国家数百万人的生计，有潜力为17个可持续发展目标的可持续发展做出贡献。然而，负面影响对可持续性造成严重障碍。人类学是跨学科方法的一个切入点，可以更好地概念化手工和小规模采金业的动态、异质现实，并确定在这些不断变化的社会环境中进行可持续变革的潜力。利用现有的手工和小规模采金业伙伴关系，这项研究构成了一个跨大陆和跨国项目的基础，该项目在7个工作包内组织，用于南美洲，西非和东非之间的综合比较可持续性跟踪。为了增加全球研究工作的价值，“可持续性对话”将增强影响力，与矿业参与者共同产生知识，从矿工自己的角度了解可持续性。一份以证据为基础的战略性摘要“小规模手工开采金矿可持续未来的愿景和前景”将有助于政策影响。创造性地表达人们对可持续采矿未来和建筑影响的理解，是来自加纳NUKU工作室和荷兰物质文化民族志博物馆的非洲摄影师之间令人兴奋的合作。其中包括与非洲和巴西的金矿工人共同制作视觉图像，作为在西非和东非、巴西和欧洲之间举办“移动地雷"巡回展览的基础。
