Arts and Crisis among the Asmat of Papua
4:30 pm Dorsey Way, Anderson Student Center
Asmat artists have earned international acclaim for their carvings and weavings, but a lack of intergenerational transmission, a need to fit into the broader structural order of modernity, and environmental changes have put visual culture from this region at risk. Could a new ecosystem of artistic production in Papua be key to dealing with this crisis? Join us as Veronika shares insights from her recent trips to Asmat and reflects on these challenges.
