SUMMARY:The Transforming Arts of Papua New Guinea
CREATED:20090809T150000Z
DESCRIPTION:Papua New Guinea\, a Pacific Island nation-state\, is home to
  a remarkable diversity of grand artistic traditions. This exhibition\, 
 featuring artifacts from the Museum's own collections\, explores the art
 s of several regions\, and illustrates over half a century of change in 
 design\, media\, and audience. Of special significance is discussion of 
 artistic developments sparked by the country's independence in 1975. Vis
 itors to the exhibit are introduced to the artistic traditions of Papua 
 New Guinea and the ways that familiar emblems of community distinction a
 re used and transformed to present provocative aesthetic commentary on t
 he cultural\, political\, and economic struggles of an emerging nation.
