Dimapur, May 5 (MExN): The Tribal Design Forum (TDF) on Friday stated that it will provide opportunities for young designers in Nagaland to interact with creative and cultural industry leaders from across the world.
Margaret Zinyu, co-ordinator, TDF in Nagaland in a press release stated that the forum will be organising online interactions with Naga supermodel Andrea Kevichusa on May 7; Filipino fashion designer Lenora Cabilion May 12; Weta Workshop from New Zealand on May 19.
In its latest edition of interactive sessions, TDF will organise an interactive session with Naga supermodel Andrea Kevichusa “to get an insight into the fashion and the Bollywood industry and provide audiences with an opportunity to understand the skills required to create a mark in the fashion and entertainment industry.”
Another upcoming session is scheduled for the benefit of textile and fashion designers working closely with indigenous artisans and culture where the TDF is inviting one of the leading fashion designers from The Philippines who has created international benchmarks working with the indigenous artisans while ensuring livelihoods for the artisan communities, Zinyu stated in the press release.
Later this month, TDF will organise an interactive session with one of the world’s leading special effects and props design studio – Weta Workshop from New Zealand, to understand the creative process of bringing imagination to life through films, exhibition and immersive experiences.
Weta Workshop is a five time BAFTA award winner amongst many other awards and accolades and are best known for contributing props, weapons, costumes, vehicles, armour, miniatures, and much more to a variety of wonderful projects including Black Panther, Avatar, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit motion picture trilogies, Blade Runner 2049, Ghost in the Shell, Thunderbirds Are Go, and The Chronicles of Narnia – to name just a few.
All of the sessions, Zinyu said, “are geared towards bringing the best of the art, design, fashion and entertainment case studies and enable the young designers from India and smaller regions like Nagaland to get an opportunity to interact with some of the leading domain experts and learn from them and their professional experiences.”
