A global solidarity concert for West Papua will take place in Los Angeles on May 15th, bringing together artists and organisers in support of the ongoing struggle for self-determination.

The event is headlined by Blue King Brown, whose work has long engaged with questions of justice and resistance, with additional performances from Big Mountain and the activist art collective AK Rockefeller.

Benny Wenda will attend as a special guest. As the leader of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua, he continues to represent his people in exile, amplifying a cause that remains critically underreported on the global stage.

The concert forms part of a wider effort to build international awareness and solidarity around West Papua, where decades of conflict, displacement and resource-driven militarisation continue to shape daily life for indigenous communities.

Please share widely and, if you are in the area, come out in support.
