Reframing the Adivasi
This exhibition brings into focus Adivasi communities of eastern and central India, the ways in which these communities have been stereotyped, and how Adivasi voices have critiqued such representations. On display are the shifting images of ‘tribes’ in nineteenth-century colonial representations through lithographs; photographs of ‘aboriginal tribes’; ethnographic and anthropological texts of the colonial period; illustrations and images of objects and photographs; a philatelic archive of postage stamps, special covers and postal stationery; and excerpts from unpublished articles, diaries, poems and songs, and photographs. These unpack an alternative history of struggle of the Adivasi for dignity, justice, and human rights
