Description
Pasifika Styles: Artists inside the museum brings together the perspectives of the artists, museum professionals, and scholars involved in this pioneering project. In 2006, fifteen New Zealand artists took over the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge, UK, to showcase contemporary Pacific art alongside the museum's extensive Oceanic collections. This book explores the making of Pasifika Styles, a groundbreaking experiment that redefined the display of contemporary art in museums. The project not only revitalized the museum's collections but also fostered collaborative curatorship between artists and cultural institutions. The book delves into the context of current debates about museums, cultural property, and art, providing valuable insights into this innovative initiative. Through the voices of those involved, Pasifika Styles offers a unique perspective on the intersection of art, culture, and museum practice.
