Endangered cultural traditions, spiritual traditions, and the stories communities choose to have carried forward.
Field documentation · Papua
Papua & Papua New Guinea
Documentation of endangered cultural and spiritual traditions in Papua and Papua New Guinea, built through relationships with the communities who hold that knowledge — and shaped, at every step, by consent.
Work built through direct relationships with the communities who hold the knowledge, not extraction from a distance.
Direct collaboration with local authority and ministerial leadership in Papua New Guinea, including city leadership in Lae, on contact and cultural documentation.
Public archives follow consent, context, and community boundaries. Some knowledge is shared; some stays private, by the community's choice.
Edited highlights and a short public film are in development, released only as consent and context allow.
