Sand drawings are elegant geometric patterns produced directly on the ground which serve to transmit a wealth of traditional knowledge about local history, indigenous rituals and cosmologies, kinship systems, natural phenomena or farming techniques.

Despite modern development and education, sand drawing continues to be a mark of Vanuatu cultural specificity and a means of exchange between the communities.
