b 1990, lives an works in Nagaland

Throngkiuba’s focus has expanded from politics and ecology to include the socio-cultural and traditional. His current practices attempt to delve deeper into the past Naga cultural traditions associated with agricultural fertility, the environment, social status, community works, spirits and semiotics (erecting stones). Throngkiuba tries to link past practices to the present. Although intrigued by the composition of objects and their metaphors, his thoughts concerning archiving and creating community-based archaic knowledge dissemination are more cemented.

Throngkiuba uses house-building materials like emulsions and limestone, common in contemporary architecture throughout Nagaland. Traditional Morung structures have been replaced by concrete. Very similar to the state of human and Naga cultures and their slow obliteration.
