Tribal Cultural Heritage in India
Showcasing new initiatives in education
“It is by now common knowledge that Adivasi artistic-creative traditions have been organically interwoven into a total way of life, which has, over generations, been developed on the basis of an eco-centric world view that considers the human world and nature as parts of the same continuum. Such traditions, whether wall/floor decorations, iconography, fine and/or performing arts, are deeply related to one another, and all of them are related to the everyday Adivasi way of life.” – Jayasri Banerjee in “Adivasi music and the public stage” (Indian Folklife, January 2002)
