From the "Out of the Archives" program: "The diverse history of life on yet another island, Papua New Guinea, is revealed in this 40 minute feature documentary. Often wrongly portrayed as "primitive," George attempts to show that the Papuans are indeed modern in their culture and innovation as successfully brought them to the present. This documentary was shot in Mount Hagen, Papua New Guinea, in 1981. A hunting expedition is followed by rare candid footage of a celebratory "Sing-Sing". Permission to film these timeless momnts was acquired and gratefully acknowledged. Shot on Super 8 film with the assistance and perseverance of Isolde Rutheberg."

Date Range
2019-2020
Scope and Content
File contains two catalogs of the "Curiouser & Curiouser" exhibit in the Cortes Island Museum, 2019/2020, curated by Christian Gronau. Modelled loosely on the fabled cabinets, boxes, rooms and chambers of the Renaissance, this exhibition was an invitation to reawaken the unreserved and almost childlike interest and curiosity of age when Europeans shook off the shadows of the Dark Ages and awoke to the fascination of the external world. When people of intellect and time to spare went (for better and for worse) in search of adventure, discovery and illumination, to all the corners of the Earth. They came back with stories full of wonder and brought back specimens full of mystery and promise. Their curiosity changed forever the ways in which humans look upon the world.
