Second day of tribal art exhibition in Delhi: Stories from the margins to the center – Delhi News

The second day of the art exhibition ‘Silent Conversations: From the Margins to the Centre’ took place on Saturday in Delhi. The exhibition, organized by the National Tiger Conservation Authority in collaboration with the Sankala Foundation, the National Human Rights Commission and the International Big Cat Alliance, attracted strong public participation.

On Thursday morning, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar inaugurated the exhibition.

During the ceremony, Jaishankar highlighted the importance of environmental conservation in India’s development journey.

In his speech, he reiterated the government’s commitment to the welfare of the Scheduled Tribes, noting that the core of the Antyodaya scheme is to ensure that marginalized communities are not left behind in India’s progress. Under the scheme, the government provides highly subsidized food to millions of poorer families across the country.

Disha, an associated member of the exhibition, explained that its aim is to spread awareness about the stories of tribal communities through art. She described it as an effort to present the lives of marginalized communities through paintings, bringing people from different parts of India to share their experiences.

The event also saw the launch of a book titled “Hidden Treasures: India’s Heritage in Tiger Reserves” and a magazine called “Big Cats”.
