From regalia and jewellery to barkcloths and woven mats to carvings and canoes, all these items have travelled, sometimes circuitously, from their homelands  including Aotearoa, Australia, the Torres Strait Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Rapa Nui, the Marquesas Islands, and Vanuatu  to the west coast of Canada. \u003ci\u003eSea of Islands\u003c\/i\u003e traces the journeys and stories of these holdings, as shared by knowledge holders, scholars, and artists from across the Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented alongside more than 250 photographs of individual objects contextualised by historic and contemporary images from Oceanic communities, Carol E. Mayer's text draws on her decades of research and outreach centred around the complex intersections between museum collections, contemporary art practices, and different knowledge systems. The result is a lively and accessible exploration of how these objects  old and new  continue to articulate systems of meaning and engender new relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46687932022942,"sku":"ADS-9781773271552","price":79.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781773271552.jpg?v=1775630917","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781773271552","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
