We are students of indigenous knowledge.

…reconnecting to the wisdom to live in accordance with nature.

We appreciate and support the local storytellers, the folk and tribal artists.

We listen attentively to the myths, legends and stories that have been passed down by elder wisdom keepers from generation to generation. Collaborating with diverse groups of artists, we translate the stories to make this knowledge accessible to new, younger audiences.

By connecting to the diversity of our world, we reconnect to ourselves and realize that we are one human family.

We bring ancient wisdom that has stood the test of time to the urban experience; the wisdom that connects us to each other, to our landscape and to the entire ecosystem of life.

We preserve and sustain vulnerable local cultures that are consistently threatened by the powerful tide of modernization engulfing us.
We promote wellbeing and confidence for people who are consistently marginalized, those that continue to bear the weight of colonial histories.

The Adivasi Arts Trust is a UK based charity (no 1132550) established in 2007 to promoting and preserving Indian indigenous art, culture and storytelling through animation and digital media.
