Contemporary artist, intrepid world traveler and avid diver Anna Galtarossa recently circumnavigated Papua New Guinea on the small ship The Caledonian Sky in an exceptional journey led by Zegrahm Expeditions. Here Anna shares with Christopher Hyland her unique adventures in this land where there are no possessions, only a remarkably intricate and flowing cycle of exchange, that of the Kula rings. In Papua New Guinea, Anna says, "To hoard is to die." Hoarding is not the only certain death in Papua New Guinea, we learn in this interview which records her own remarkable encounter with the last of the headhunters— not to mention her meetings with rituals, the aesthetic, flora and fauna, and people—including her fellow travelers.
