Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Sea of Islands brings together knowledge holders, scholars, and artists from across the Pacific with Western scholars working with Pacific collections as well as members of diasporic Oceanic communities to share the stories and journeys of the objects that comprise Canada's largest Oceanic collection, housed at The Museum of Anthropology at UBC.The Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia holds some 3,500 objects from Oceania, making it the largest and most diverse collection from this region in Canada. 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. Sea of Islands traces the journeys and stories of these holdings, as shared by knowledge holders, scholars, and artists from across the Pacific.Presented 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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
