(There are two reasons why we do our art: the first is to maintain our culture, the second is to earn money). Injalak Arts and Crafts Corporate Plan INTRODUCTION In the last chapter, the example of bark paintings was used to test Western categories for indigenous art. Reference was also made to Aboriginal systems of classification, in particular the ways Yolngu people classify painting, including bark painting. Morphy's concept, that Aboriginal art exists in two 'frames', was briefly introduced, and his view was cited that Yolngu artists increasingly operate within both 'frames', the Aboriginal frame and the European frame (Morphy 1991:26). This chapter develops the theme of how indigenous art objects are valued, both within the creator society and when they enter the Western art-culture system. When aesthetic objects move between cultures the values attached to them may change.

    “CREATING NEW FOLK OPERA FORMS OF APPLIED THEATRE FOR HIV AND AIDS EDUCATION IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA” [JANE PUMAI AWI] [DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY] Master of Arts (Humanities) Bachelor of Arts in Literature Diploma in Theatre Arts Supervisors Professor Brad Haseman Dr. Andrea Baldwin Dr. Greg Murphy Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Creative Industry Queensland University of Technology 2014 KEYWORDS Communication, awareness, HIV and AIDS, Voluntary, Testing and Counselling, folk opera, applied theatre, theatre for development, drama, script, performance, performativity, theatre, theatricality, intercultural theatre, intra-cultural, indigenous knowledge, cultural performances, metaphor, signs, symbols, Papua New Guinean worldview, Melanesian way, Papua New Guinea and Kumul. Table of Contents i Abstract This research investigated the potential of folk opera as a tool for HIV and AIDS education in Papua New Guinea. It began with an investigation on the indigenous performativities and theatricalities of Papua New Guineans, conducting an audit of eight selected performance traditions in Papua New Guinea. These traditions were analysed, and five cultural forms and twenty performance elements were drawn out for further exploration. These elements were fused and combined with theatre techniques from western theatre traditions, through a script development process involving Australians, Papua New Guineans and international collaborators. The resulting folk opera, entitled Kumul, demonstrates what Murphy (2010) has termed story force, picture force, and feeling force, in the service of a story designed to educate Papua New Guinean audiences about HIV and the need to adopt safer sexual practices. Kumul is the story of a young man faced with decisions on whether or not to engage in risky sexual behaviours.

  • Pacific Island History Poster Profiles
    Pacific Island History Poster Profiles A Note for Teachers Acknowledgements Index of Profiles This Profiles are subject to copyright. Photocopying and general reproduction for teaching purposes is permitted. Reproduction of this material in part or whole for commercial purposes is forbidden unless written consent has been obtained from Queensland University of Technology. Requests can be made through the acknowldgements section of this pdf file. A Note for Teachers This series of National History Posters has been designed for individual and group Classroom use and Library display in secondary schools. The main aim is to promote in children an interest in their national history. By comparing their nation's history with what is presented on other Posters, students will appreciate the similarities and differences between their own history and that of their Pacific Island neighbours. The student activities are designed to stimulate comparison and further inquiry into aspects of their own and other's past. The National History Posters will serve a further purpose when used as a permanent display in a designated “History” classroom, public space or foyer in the school or for special Parent- Teacher nights, History Days and Education Days. The National History Posters do not offer a complete survey of each nation's history. They are only a profile. They are a short-cut to key people, key events and the broad sweep of history from original settlement to the present. There are many gaps. The posters therefore serve as a stimulus for students to add, delete, correct and argue about what should or should not be included in their Nation's History Profile.

  • Wau–Salamaua
    CHAPTER 8 WAU-SALAMAUA E have seen how the frontal attack of the Japanese on Moresb y W over the Owen Stanley Range and the flank attack on Milne Ba y were associated with a threat by the enemy on the northern flank, whe n he made unopposed landings at Lae and Salamaua . These landings not only constituted a potential danger to Moresby and provided valuable site s for enemy bases, but also gave access to the Wau-Bulolo Valley . This area, famous for its alluvial gold mining, had been developed i n previous years by the enterprise of air services, which had establishe d airfields capable of linking strategic points in an otherwise most difficul t terrain. The precipitous Kuper Range rose to 10,000 feet in places, an d cut off these coastal centres from the interior, where in a deep cleft the Bulolo and Watut Rivers flowed in a basin still several thousand fee t above sea level . Progress through this country was slow and laborious ; it exemplified a common feature of the uplands of New Guinea, wher e time of travel was much more significant than distance . Travel by foot often demanded incessant clamberings up and down rough rocky ravines and crossing fast streams, and at the higher mountain elevations over 5,000 feet the moss country began, treacherous and forbidding . The usual variants of tropical growth were seen in different parts of this valley , but of a specially wild ruggedness . The foothills, often very steep, wer e covered with kunai grass, and the slopes above were clothed with thic k forest made almost impenetrable by dense jungle growth.
