Kohima: Fading ink, a documentary film on the dying art of traditional Naga tattoos, was released by Nagaland Commissioner and Secretary Art and Culture, Himato Zhimomi recently at North East Zone Cultural Centre, here.

According to sources here today, the documentary film, produced by Design Stash in collaboration with NEZCC, is an endeavour to document the dying art and tradition of tattoo-making among the indigenous tribes of Nagaland including Konyak, Ao, Chang, Khiamniungan, Phom, Sangtam, Pochury and Yimchungru, which now languishes as a dying art form.

“Tattoo making was very much a part of Naga culture. However, its practices have been abandoned with the advent of Christianity,” the sources said. Earlier, speaking as the chief guest, Himato Zhimomi, while congratulating DesignStash and NEZCC, also gave assurance on behalf of Department of Art and Culture to extensively support this kind of venture.

Others present during the screening of the documentary were Principal Secretary and Agriculture Production Commissioner H K Khulu, Director of NEZCC Som Kamei and Padmashree Sentila Yanger. (UNI)
