Papua New Guinea

"Blue and Red" 24 x 30

"Sing-sings" are cultural shows that were instituted as a way of gathering clans and tribes together. Groups from all over PNG converge and camp for a weekend at the two main shows in Mt. Hagan and Goroka where they participate in dance and traditional dress competitions. Drums thunder, feathers sway, and dancing tribes people glisten with paint, oils, and pig grease.
