Postnational Art Histories: Rebordering the Archipelago: Asia-Pacific Exchanges
Couldn't load pickup availability
Rather than imagining a scattering of small, defined island states, Tongan scholar Epeli Hau’ofa (1939–2009) wrote of the Pacific Ocean as a “Sea of Islands”, a vast oceanic continent full of movement, exchange, and cultural flow. That notion permeates this collection of texts and images, which weaves an interconnected dialogue spanning art practices, knowledges, and research traversing the Asia-Pacific region. Inherently generative and post-national in its approach, it reflects the diversity of practices and voices that resonate throughout this vast area and highlights both intergenerational learnings from the past and new modes of listening, reading, sharing, and resistance.
