You’re Invited: 50 Years of Independence – Reflections on Papua New Guinea

Join us for a special evening to mark 50 years of Papua New Guinea’s independence, featuring a film screening, panel discussion, and the launch of a new exhibition showcasing Papua New Guinea memorabilia and stories.

The event begins with a powerful film exploring PNG’s journey since independence in 1975, followed by a panel of speakers with deep personal and professional ties to the country.

We’ll also launch a unique exhibition featuring memorabilia, photographs, and objects that celebrate the vibrant history and enduring connections between PNG and its people.
