Tribal

The land that time forgot

My coursework has been inspired from the distinct tribes in Papua New Guinea. PNG tribes is rapidly becoming a vanishing culture and before they completely disappear, I wanted to show that extreme remote tribes like in PNG do exist and they ought to be explored. Besides, the culture of PNG is many-sided and complex. Each group has created its own expressive forms in art, dance, costumes, singing, music, architecture and more.
I predominantly represented 6 tribes:
  • Meakambut tribe
  • Huli tribe
  • Karo tribe
  • Asmat tribe
  • Kaningara tribe (vulnerable to extinction in the years to come)
  • Baining tribe
  • Goroka tribe
My work evokes cannibalism, witchcraft, beliefs, rituals, landscapes, animals and patterns.




Just sharing, my upcoming posts will be about how my coursework was done!
Enjoy! Nadia :)
