West Papua is facing significant human rights and environmental challenges. So why aren’t we talking about it?

For decades, Indigenous Papuans have experienced conflict, displacement, allegations of serious human rights abuses, and significant environmental impacts.

WUDFA invites you to a special screening of Pig Feast (Pesta Babi): Colonialism in Our Time, a documentary exploring the environmental impacts of development in West Papua and the experiences of Indigenous Papuan communities seeking to protect their lands and livelihoods.

Following the screening, join us for a Q&A with:
- Dandhy Laksono, investigative journalist and director of Pesta Babi
- Koteka Wenda, International Spokesperson for the Free West Papua Campaign
- Ronny Kareni, human rights advocate

The panel will be chaired by UOW student Alex Eagleton, whose current research examines human rights issues concerning West Papua.

For students interested in international, environmental or human rights law, this is an
opportunity to hear directly from those working on these issues.
