About the Bhil Tribe:
The Bhil tribe is an ethnic group inhabiting the Western part of Central India. Well over 1.5 million Bhil’s live as marginal farmers in almost 2000 villages, yet many have also migrated into cities too. Members of the Bhil tribe possess a vast array of rich customs and traditions connected to their land and agrarian roots. Bhil people record history by decorating the walls and floors of their houses. Their distinctive “pointillist” art features multiple layers of symbolism. Inspired by kernels of maize – the Bhil’s staple crop – each group of dots often represent an ancestor, prayer, story, memory, or tradition. Each artist composes dots in distinctive patterns encoding their design with their unique signatures.
