Sharing this post highlighting the importance of authoring our own stories.
We are full heart THANKFUL to the team behind this work

Thank you .mcdougall for the space to tell our stories.

Commissioned for ‘sis’, FROM OLD TO NEW OLD 2023 exposes audiences to both the hardships and joys that a group of Papua New Guinean women have experienced as they have sought to reawaken the cultural practices involved in marking bodies, which were prohibited from the mid nineteenth century by Christian missionaries. Bringing together photographic documentation, hand-drawn designs, video footage and firsthand accounts, this work invites audiences to acknowledge histories of racial discrimination and cultural annihilation. The work also encourages visitors to consider their own actions and how these may or may not perpetuate such acts.

The creation of this work is supported by Creative New Zealand through Mana Pasifika.
