Renowned Australian photojournalist Ben Bohane's commitment to illuminating the struggles and spirit worlds behind news from Melanesia is clearly evident in this sensitive body of work that explores localised kastom practices and reveals an in-depth knowledge of the people, movements, traditions and politics that shape everyday life.
