Adivaani is a platform that aims to support indigenous expression and assertion, based in Kolkata, India. It is a publishing, archiving and chronicling outfit of and by indigenous people of India's Adivasi Tribes.
History[edit]
In April 2012, Ruby Hembrom attended a four month publishing course,[1] and on being confronted by the absence, invisibility and erasure of Adivasi representation in the curriculum and discourse, a common feature in many spaces she had been at, the idea began there.[2][3][4]
adivaani was registered as a non-governmental organization on 19 July 2012,[5] and became operational, and have produced 19 books thus far, including to anthologies.[6]
adivaani is the first publishing outfit of and by indigenous people of India to publish in the English language,[7] Hembrom co-opted two others to collaborate with,[8][7] one of whom still remains with adivaani as a volunteer.
Meaning of adivaani[edit]
adivaani is a combination of Sanskrit word 'adi' meaning 'first', 'original', 'ancient' or 'earliest', and 'vaani' meaning 'voice'. adivaani translates to the 'first voices'.[9]
Work[edit]
adivaani aims to document and disseminate knowledge systems, tangible and intangible cultural facets of Adivasis in English and bi-lingual, creating a database of the authentic Adivasi voice, as recounted by them, using diverse multimedia channels, which can be accessible to indigenous people themselves.
adivaani has made a documentary film on the making and playing of the Santhal lute and fiddle, the Banam.
adivaani's first two bboks were released at the New Delhi World Book Fair, 2013: Gladson Dungdung's 'Whose Country is it anyway?' and, Ruby Hembrom and Boski Jain's 'We Come from the Geese'.
The theme of the book fair was 'Indigenous Voices: Mapping India's Folk and Tribal Literature'.[10]
