Beneath the Canopy: Friends of the Forest
April 19 - May 24, 2012
As one of the most bio-diverse regions on Earth, the rain forests of Papua New Guinea are home to many diverse creatures.
On April 19th Alcheringa Gallery will be filled with exotic birds in comically contorted poses by Ricky Kiang, endearing possums from Steven Jimowan, and a giant frog by Otto Timbin. Add to that a range of finial derived sculptural forms such as Sebbie Dumoi’s complex, drum beating, human figure or Teddy Balangu’s latest rendition of Killer Whale and Crocodile. Towering over all is Kaua Gita’s Malu Board whose lacy delicate carved detail encloses a panoply of birds.
Alcheringa Gallery is pleased to present this exhibition of new works from our 2011 Sepik River collection.
All works subject to presale

April 25th, 2012: Pedalling for Papua
Please join us this evening at 7pm for the kick off!
9,547 kilometers. 121 days. 1 story. The Pedalling for Papua Campaign is coming to Victoria!
Pedalling for Papua is a Canada-wide bicycle tour and advocacy campaign. Riding between dozens of communities across the country, cyclist Jeremy Bally will be performing his story about traveling in West Papua, the easternmost province of Indonesia, host to 50 years of human rights abuses, environmental exploitation and military occupation. The goal: raise awareness and inspire action in Canada on a human rights crisis that many observers suggest amounts to a slow-motion genocide.
