Journal de la Société des océanistes - Année 1979 - Volume 35 - Numéro 63 - Pages 115-118
Since 1972 an artistic revival has flourished among the Gogodala of Papua New Guinea's Western Province. Following a full generation of mission-inspired hostility towards the arts of their pre-Christian ancestors, the Gogodala are once again carving totemic figures, making dance masks, and racing ceremonial canoes on the local rivers and lagoons. A new longhouse has been constructed, in the traditional style, to serve as the spatial focus of the Gogodala Cultural Centre.

Abstract

Since 1972 an artistic revival has flourished among the Gogodala of Papua New Guinea's Western Province. Following a full

generation of mission-inspired hostility towards the arts of their pre-Christian ancestors, the Gogodala are once again carving

"totemic" figures, making dance masks, and racing ceremonial canoes on the local rivers and lagoons. A new longhouse has

been constructed, in the traditional style, to serve as the spatial focus of the "Gogodala Cultural Centre".
