Tribal Cultural Heritage in India
Showcasing new initiatives in education
“[I]n Arunachal Pradesh change as much through creative innovation as through passive adaptation. […] Cultural change is everywhere apparent: textile designs of one tribe are borrowed by others; local festivals are centralised and refashioned as community events; oral traditions are printed and discussed as ‘cultural heritage’. One tribe regularly holds a ‘Fashion Show’ in which young men and women display the latest innovations in traditional dress. Some traditional practices (such as tattooing) have been banned by tribal organisations, while others (woodcarving, for example) are expanding.” – Research Description “Tribal Transitions at SOAS”
