The Naga form a minority in Northeast India and the northwest of Myanmar — and consist at the same time of thirty different ethnicities: three to four million people, with numerous languages, but no central government structures. How do they manage to preserve their traditional history and integrate into altered ways of life? How do their former practice of headhunting fit together with modern tattoos, fashion, and social media? What role does Christianity play? Authors among others from Naga Land describe various facets of their contemporary and current 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. Look inside

Die Naga bilden eine Minderheit im Nordosten Indiens und im Nordwesten Myanmars – und bestehen zugleich aus über 30 verschiedenen Ethnien: drei bis vier Millionen Menschen, mit zahlreichen Sprachen. Wie gelingt es ihnen, ihre traditionellen Überlieferungen zu bewahren und in veränderte Lebensweisen zu integrieren? Wie passen moderne Tattoos, Mode und Social Media zusammen? Welche Rolle spielt die christliche Religion? Autor/-innen u. a. aus Nagaland beschreiben unterschiedliche Facetten ihrer gegenwärtigen und vergangenen Kultur und lassen die um zeitgenössische Gegenstände ergänzte Naga-Sammlung des Ethnologischen Museums Berlin in neuem Licht erscheinen. Die Künstlerin Zubeni Lotha veranschaulicht das heutige Leben der Naga in beeindruckenden Fotografien.
