Food and Craft practice of the Neelum Valley (AJK)

Food, clothing and craft reflect the richness of indigenous communities. In many ways they correlate with their customs,climate and belief systems.But with the changing times we tend to ignore the traditional techniques and practices. Hence their significance is compromised due to the adoption of modern procedures at the expense of tried and tested traditional methods. In many ways they do not correspond in the uplifting and empowerment of an area. Similar is the case with communities settled in Neelum valley.
In our effort to document and archive the local practices, here is a video documentation of few interesting cultural practices.
The idea is to secure the data in a video format to study and record the body gestures and movement along the craft. Everyday conversation of the people brings an insight of the daily chores and therefore aids the viewer in developing a closer understanding of these communities.
