Join us on 16 and 17 September 2019 as we explore new creative possibilities and pathways for PNG art.
Over two days we present an exciting lineup of international scholars and practitioners from Australia, Papua New Guinea, Europe and North America to critically examine the state-of-play of PNG art today. The conference aims to generate new ideas for expanding artistic, cultural and economic opportunities in the region.
Key themes

1.      What are the networks (local, regional, global) that sustain PNG artists and their creative practices?

2.      How has funding and support for PNG artists shifted over the last twenty years; what have been the key changes affecting the arts?

3.      How can we strengthen regional engagement and support for PNG artists?

4.      How do artists engage (or fail to engage) with structural opportunities for better connecting to local, national and international markets?

5.      What and who have been the seminal exhibitions and artists promoting PNG art over the last twenty years?
The symposium is funded through an Asia Pacific Innovation Program grant in partnership with the Institute of Pacific Studies (CAP) and the Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies (CASS).
