PICS FROM MELANESIAN FESTIVAL OF ARTS AND CULTURE

Hellow friends. Bonjour mes amis.
Sorry for the long delay in putting up posts.
Today I share a few pics of the Melanesian Festival of Arts and Culture.
I will share more on this later.
Despite complaints from locals about how well it was organised, those who attended the festival enjoyed the two weeks of performances and display of artistic and traditional skills shown by the thousands of Melanesian tribes in the Pacific.
