All roads lead to home – connecting to culture in PNG's Port Moresby

from Culture Compass · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Papua New Guinea is a country of steep valleys, raging rivers, thick rainforest — and not to mention the Pacific Ocean – that makes traversing the country a precarious task. So when people migrate from their villages to the capital Port Moresby, sometimes they're leaving for good. But just because you leave your village for the city, it doesn't mean you can't continue to practice your culture when you're away from home. In fact, distance makes the heart grow fonder, and we develop a deeper appreciation for the cultures we left behind.  In this episode we traverse Papua New Guinea to hear how three women are staying connected to their cross-country cultures. Culture Compass was produced by Deadset Studios for ABC Radio Australia. ​​​​​​​
