Journal Title: Artistic Narration: A Peer Reviewed Journal of Visual & Performing Art - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The word ‘Tribal’ denotes a social group, comprising of series of groups, families, clans or generations, wherein their way of life still shows a particular deep-rooted inheritance and relation to an ancient past and by ‘Tribal art’ we mean artifacts and objects which have been practiced and produced directly by members of a specific tribal community. The name Adivasis is used in some of the states to refer to some of the tribal people expressing the meaning that people who have lived here from the beginning or from earliest times and in India there are millions of tribal people still living and thriving in the states of Madhya Pradesh, eastward to Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa, Assam, North-eastern states such as Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh. There are some smaller groups of tribal people who live in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Mysore, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal. These tribal people have produced a fascinating repertoire of their arts and crafts which have germinated from the womb of Mother Nature and present a rhythm of life and heartbeat of the Earth.
