About

Share food made by Triennial artist Veronica Gikope, Haus Yuriyal from their abundant garden at Queensland Art Gallery.

An integral part of Haus Yuriyal’s display in the Asia Pacific Triennial is a garden, designed by Gikope to articulate the centrality of subsistence agriculture to the lives and culture of the Yuri people in Papua New Guinea. Gikope has mapped out the framework for her vibrant, living artwork using stands of sugar cane, cooking bananas and taro, with the exchange of sugar cane being an important gesture of peace and unity in Yuri culture.
