About Behelti Ama

I am an MFA candidate at Dr. J. Jayalalithaa Music and Fine Arts University, Tamil Nadu, and hold a four-year Diploma in Fine Arts from the Kalakshetra Foundation, Chennai. My practice draws from the indigenous cultures of Arunachal Pradesh, particularly the Mishmi tribe. Through contemporary art, I explore traditions, rituals, folklore, attire, festivals, and the deep relationship between people and nature, celebrating cultural identity, resilience, and heritage.
