A survey is pending on PNG bilums as souvenirs being exported overseas. I wish to hear from interested women who make bilums for sale, women entrepreneurers in bilum trading, souvenir shops trading bilums, stakeholders in the business of trading bilum as a commodity, and other interested persons/organizations.
The purpose of the survey is to find out how far and wide bilum trade, from its humble beginning in the villages as a cultural material for personal use to the international scene as a tradiable commodity and souvenir for tourist consumption has been to.
Your help towards this is greatly appreciated. All participants will be acknowledged in this survey. (email: howarigc[at]gmail.com) Thanks.
