Festival Mélanésien des Arts et de la Culture

Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée

Dans le cadre du cycle d’accueil, en 2014, la Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée a accueilli le 5e Festival mélanésien des arts et de la culture sous le thème «Célébrer la diversité culturelle». Initié en 1998 pour préserver et promouvoir les cultures mélanésiennes, le Festival se tient tous les quatre ans dans l’un des pays mélanésiens. Selon la presse, un nombre record de 2’500 participants des cinq pays mélanésiens ont assisté au Festival en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée, ce qui en fait le plus grand événement jamais organisé par un pays mélanésien. Le Festival a réuni des participants de toute la région – les Îles Salomon, Vanuatu, Nouvelle-Calédonie, Fidji et, bien sûr, les provinces de Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. Mais la PNG a également lancé des invitations en Papouasie occidentale, au Timor Leste et dans les îles du détroit de Torres.

Bien que la Mélanésie soit aussi diversifiée que son peuple et sa situation géographique, il existe des similitudes étroites entre leurs cultures. Le Festival est l’occasion de voir ces cultures et traditions uniques des pays mélanésiens sans se rendre dans chacun d’entre eux.

Le prochain festival mélanésien aura lieu du 1er au 10 juillet 2018 aux Îles Salomon.
