ABSTRACT In this paper, we examine the socially engaged practices of human rights-based organisations in Papua New Guinea (PNG) as they perform, stage and engage with communities to unsettle and challenge contemporary justifications of violence and malice. Specifically, we explore Yumi Sanap Strong (Let's Stand Together), a PNG national initiative and a repertoire of curated performances and experiences that navigate the complexities of contemporary cultural and social engagements to create alternative narratives for change. Creative practice processes are re-imagined and re-staged harnessing indigenous performances, and resulting in the affectual experience among communities.

当你杀死身体时，你是否杀死了精神？策划情感表演，解决与巴布亚新几内亚巫术指控相关的暴力问题

摘要 在本文中，我们考察了巴布亚新几内亚 (PNG) 人权组织的社会参与实践，这些组织在执行、上演和与社区互动以扰乱和挑战当代暴力和恶意的理由时。具体来说，我们探索 Yumi Sanap Strong（让我们站在一起），这是一项 PNG 国家倡议和一系列策划表演和体验，这些表演和体验能够驾驭当代文化和社会参与的复杂性，为变革创造替代叙事。创造性的实践过程被重新想象和重新上演，利用土著表演，并在社区之间产生情感体验。
