[ANU Pacific.Institute] Exhibition on tribal fighting in PNG next week

[Amanda Watson]

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Mission in Australia, in partnership with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
(DFAT), is pleased to invite you to the opening of In the Fight: Humanity and Tribal Conflict, a multimedia exhibition by the ICRC.​
 ​
In the Fight: Humanity and Tribal Conflict shares stories of resilience and humanity amid warfare in the remote peaks and valleys of Papua New ​
Guinea’s highlands. This exhibition is a journey through the historical and cultural intricacies of tribal fighting in one of Australia’s closest neighbours. ​
It is a story of how communities are working together, and with the International Committee of the Red Cross, to minimise the humanitarian ​
consequences of being ‘in the fight’. ​
 ​
The official exhibition opening will be held on Tuesday 29 October at 12.30pm, in the atrium of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade ​
R G Casey Building, John McEwen Crescent, Barton, ACT.​
 ​
We will be joined by Mr. Ahmad Hallak, Head of the ICRC Mission in Papua New Guinea who will provide insights into the situation in the highlands ​
and share how the ICRC is working with communities to respond. ​
 ​
Refreshments and a viewing of the exhibition will follow the presentation.  ​
 ​
We look forward to seeing you or your representative at the opening. Please RSVP to can_canberra at icrc.org ​
 ​
For further information, please contact ICRC Communication Officer, Caitlin Welch on (02) 6273 2968 or cwelch at icrc.org
 ​
The exhibition will be open to the public between the hours of 8.30am and 5.30pm, from Tuesday 28 October until Friday 1 November.​
