Another amazing display of culture. This year I even had my own stand to sell some PNG photo’s! Unfortunately I could not have a big supply of prints. If you missed out (some were already sold), it is easy to get a reprint organised, and I can mail it to you. Do not hesitate to contact me. Or, have a look at my other shots, or wait for the 2009 goroka show Gallery to be uploaded (it wont be long.. I promise).
Here is already a first glimpse from today
Goroka Show 2009
The Goroka Show is a cultural event (if not THE cultural event) in PNG where many tribes and clans boast there colours while singing and dancing. PNG is the world’s most culturally diverse nation and the Show is a cultural event where different tribes peform their sing sing (dances and songs) in their particular Bilas (traditional dress). It is arguably the largest gathering of indigenous tribes in the world. The staging of the Goroka Show started back in 1957 at the Independence Park opposite the Goroka Main Market. It was first introduced and organized by Australian patrol officers. Nowadays over 100 tribes from all over Papua New Guinea gather in Goroka for the annual festival of traditional dance on the weekend around Independence Day.

One of my pics was selected to cover of the corporate magazine of GMG Color. It is good to see that a photo from the Goroka Show gets some additional exposure.
