Join Susan for The Launch of her new Book 'Living Art Papua New Guinea'Released in the month of Papua New Guinea’s 50th Anniversary of Independence, this stunning book showcases the contemporary art and culture of Papua New Guinea and its people.

This beautifully produced hardcover, full-colour art book represents more than 125 prominent artists with over 300 artworks and cultural performances. They are astonishing in their dramatic visual effect and virtuosity. Culture, politics, history, and identity are interlinking themes through which the book presents ideas about artists, creative processes and aesthetics, revealing Papua New Guinea’s diversity of cultures and environments. It locates innovative artists in their villages, in downtown Port Moresby, and on to the international stage.
