Mysore, May 31 (DM) – Curtains came down on the unique 11-day ‘Kaadina Haadu’ camp organised by Bhoomigeetha for fostering tribal arts and culture, here on Sunday.

‘Kaadina Haadu’ training camp, which was jointly launched by Mysore University and Tribal Farm Workers Association at Manasagangotri’s Fine Arts College on May 20, was successful in sensitising urban artists to Tribal arts and culture.

Renowned Music Director V. Manohar who was instrumental in organising the camp, delivered the valedictory address.

Monohar said that the poor economic conditions, an inferiority complex and exposure to an urban milieu for which they were not ready, has led to the disappearing of tribal art and culture. He expressed gratitude to all those who came to his aid in organising the camp.

Prof. Kalegowda Nagawara, who also spoke, said both the State and Central Government spent a lot of money for the development of tribals. But it is everyone’s responsibility to see grants are used properly, he said.

Music University Vice-Chancellor Dr. Hanumanna Nayaka Dore, who spoke on the occasion, said classical music and folk music would be given equal priority. Although the govern-ment has sanctioned land for the Music University, the Forest Department was creating hurdles, he said.

Litterateur Devanur Mahadeva, in his address, said he visualised people seeing their primordial past within the subconscious mind in the folkways and lores of Tribal people.

Radical thinker P. Mallesh, in his address, observed that renowned music directors such as Manohar should strive towards nurturing Tribal music. All the artistes who participated in the camp were distributed certificates on the occasion.

Tribal artistes presented a musical programme. Theatrist Janardhan (Janni) compered. N.S. Gopinath, C. Basavalingaiah, Kikkeri Narayan were present.

Workshop on tribal culture inaugurated

The workshop will focus on the art forms of tribal communities, especially dance and music

‘Workshop has helped us revive our art forms, made us feel it is important too’

MYSORE: Kaadina Haadu – a 10-day workshop on tribal culture organised by the Bhoomigeeta Trus – was inaugurated on the verdant premises of the Fine Arts College here on Thursday with artistes of the Betta Kuruba community exhibiting their dancing skills.

The programme is a part of the Bhoomigeetha Trust’s initiative to protect and promote tribal cultural forms that are on the verge of extinction. Cine music director V. Manohar heads the trust, and is supported by other leading lights such as Baraguru Ramachandrappa, Hamsalekha, Mohan Alva, Amrith Someshwara, Kikkeri Narayan. Over 30 people have signed up to participate in the workshop.

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Manohar said that the workshop had been organised to sensitise the mainstream to the need to protect tribal cultural forms facing extinction in the changed economic scenario.

Cultural forms

During the workshop, members from tribal communities will introduce cultural forms, especially dance and music, to those interested in learning them. He said that the tribal art, which was full of rich ritualistic expression and aesthetic emotions, was in danger because of the penetration of urbanisation into tribal haadis (settlements).

Mysore City Corporation Mayor Sandeshswamy reiterated the need to protect tribal culture. “The endeavour by the Bhoomigeeta Trust is appreciable under the circumstances as it will help in rejuvenating tribal cultural forms,” he said.

Tribal leader Somanna said that the workshop had helped tribal artistes revive their art forms and made them feel that their art forms still had its importance in the present consumerist world.

Wildlife photographer and documentary maker Kripakar Senani also underlined the need to protect tribal culture. The programme concluded with a “soliga” song.
