Kids' APT7 : In review
48 KIDS’ APT7 AT QAGOMA The artists of Kwoma Arts presented a small house or koromb , a structure similar to houses built in the East Sepik province of Papua New Guinea. Koromb are places where people relax and paint, where small sculptures are carved and where children are taught about the stories and designs of Kwoma culture. Visitors to APT7 were invited to enter the house in the gallery space and draw from a display of wooden carvings.
