Skin marking, or tattooing, in Papua New Guinea isn’t just body art. It’s a visual language that tells stories of family, identity, and connection. For her Master of Research, Tetei Bakic explored this women’s practice and revealed gaps and misrepresentations in non-Indigenous accounts. Her aim is to shift the narrative toward first-person, Indigenous-authored storytelling, letting cultural knowledge be shared by those it truly belongs to. 🎥 | @Bitalogy - reposting from Macquarie University 🌏
