Madang Dinner
NOTE: this is a time-lapse view of an entire evening: Please preview this video by holding down the Fast Forward [|>] button. The first 4 minutes show the pre-dinner period, when groups volunteered to place posters in all of the stores of the neighborhood. The remainder is an entire evening of talking, eating, reports from all of the committees, and an acknowledgment of the cooperation of all of the neighborhood leaders. While many of the food service practices show a gendered separation of tasks, the leaders of the Madang committees are from both genders. The meal was paid for from the Madang budget.
September 1994, Matsu no Ki Machi Danchi, Higashi-kujo.
