Raskols of Papua New Guinea
by Stephen Dupont
Am deciding if I should visit Papua New Guinea this year, via Jayapura, Papua, Indonesia. The universe is wonderful as such, as soon as I open up the possibility of visiting this country, I keep finding these lovely images.
here’s a small write up about it
In 2004 Stephen Dupont infiltrated a Raskol community to document the individuals behind the facelessness of gag warfare. His Raskol series presents formal portraits of the “Kips Kaboni” or “Red Devils”, Papua New Guinea’s longest established Raskol group. By building trust… over several visits, Dupont was able to set-up a makeshift studio in which to photograph his subjects- mostly young, unemployed adults and teenagers who orchestrate raids, car-jackings and robberies as a means of survival. Raskols focuses on Papua New Guinean youth in crisis, men that have turned to crime, violence, anarchy in a bid to protect the future of themselves and their communities.
