Naga Land: Voices from Northeast India

The Naga form a minority in Northeast India and the Northwest of Myanmar, and consist of 30 different ethnicities: 3-4 million people with numerous languages. Authors, among others from Naga Land, describe various facets of their culture and make the Naga collection of the Ethnological Museum in Berlin appear in a new light, supplemented with contemporary objects. The artist Zubeni Lotha shows the life of the Naga today in impressive photographs. How do they manage to preserve their traditional history and integrate into altered ways of life? How do fit that together with modern tattoos, fashion, and social media? What role does Christianity play?
