Written by Post Courier Online, August 29th 2025

(Summary below)

As Papua New Guinea marks its Golden Jubilee, Returning Home emerges as a landmark exhibition and programme that brings together five diaspora artists from Australia. Curated by Grace Hasu Dlabik, the show honours heritage, identity, and the enduring ties between PNG’s past and its global present.

More than just an art-show, Returning Home features workshops, artist talks, and community engagement, inviting all Papua New Guineans to reconnect with tradition and the evolving nature of culture. Displayed during the 50th Independence celebrations in Port Moresby, the exhibition foregrounds themes of resilience, cross-cultural collaboration, and the idea that independence is both remembrance and imagining what comes next.
