STEPHEN DUPONT

CONTAINER EXHIBITION: Raskols: The Gangs of Papua New Guinea
The theme relates to urban gangs and criminals in the capital Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. It looks inside the world of cults and kustom and tribal culture: what happens to traditional society when urbanisation and globalisation take over. The portraits provide a window into the faces behind the facelessness of gang and criminal activities.
