Tunapri Palawa

Tunapri Palawa is a 1.5-2-hour immersive experience, wherein the lives

of pre-colonial Palawa are given the spotlight, and we explore the

traditional resources that were, not too long ago, a part of the daily

lives of humans on this island.

We will not only delve into the lives of the pre-colonial Palawa, but also

the daily lives of the contemporary Palawa community, and the

traditional seasonal activities that are, to this day, significant cultural

practices to those that now carry the flame of knowledge from our

ancestors.

The workshop is split into two parts. First, a 45-minute oral

presentation, followed by a 45-minutes hands-on activity. In this

section all participants will be given the unique opportunity of creating

their very own contemporary artefact based on the lessons learnt

throughout the workshop.

The nature of the hands-on activity will vary in accordance with

seasonal resource availability and traditional harvesting protocol.
