Exhibition on Tribal Culture in West Papua and Melanesia
October 30, 2014
Following a highly successful show “Angel and the Princess” this summer, artist Pamela Gerrie has collaborated with West Papuan leader and politician Benny Wenda to produce a new exhibition entitled ‘Endangered’, focussing on tribal culture within West Papua and Melanesia. Through the exhibition Pamela sets stories from West Papua and the Island of New Hanover against the harsh reality of the Indonesian regime.
The show will form part of ‘Edge of Ordinary II’, the second cooperative exhibition of ten international artists, and will take place at Espacio Gallery in Bethnal Green, London. Philosopher Derek Matravers will also visit the gallery to facilitate a public discussion, with the artists, on ‘Edge of Ordinary II’ on 12th November.
