SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Paul Bong
DESCRIPTION:Join the Anthropology Museum team for a special event with artist Paul Bong in conjunction with National Reconciliation Week (NRW). Paul Bong is a descendant of the Yidinji people\, whose ancestral lands encompass the fertile rainforest region extending from Cairns in the north to Babinda in the south\, and westward into the Atherton Tablelands as far as Kairi. In his practice\, Bong integrates traditional Yidinji visual motifs with contemporary techniques\, creating works in which each design is imbued with specific spiritual and cultural significance. The Yidinji shield\, traditionally produced for ceremonial use and physical defence\, holds profound cultural significance as a visual emblem of protection\, authority\, and resistance. Within Bong’s practice\, the shield is reinterpreted and reactivated not as a historical artefact\, but as a living form through which Yidinji sovereignty is asserted and sustained.
