Papuan Voices is a video-advocacy initiative assisting West Papuan communities to tell their stories. It challenges common misconceptions about this troubled territory and builds local storytellers in a region where foreign journalists are banned.

From 2010-2012 EngageMedia, here collaborated with grassroots groups in two cities to teach Papuan activists video-production and distribution skills. The result is a series of videos and an education toolkit that brings together the everyday stories of West Papuans.

Tickets at the door: $12 / $10 concession
