In this time of ecological crisis, Re- Stor(y)ing Oceania seeks to reframe our relationship to the planet’s largest body of water.
In a collaboration of story, song, performance, action and activism, Re-Stor(y)ing Oceania amplifies the voices of artists and their communities living in the vast and diverse region of the South Pacific Ocean.
Heta’s The Body of Wainuiātea, 2024, is a new architectural space for learning, sharing and reconnecting with ancestral stories. Guided by the Māori concept of tikanga (ceremony and protocols) and Pacific architectural forms, Heta makes visible narratives that may have otherwise remained hidden, with a focus on Indigenous and wāhine (women’s) voices.
Taumoepeau’s work Deep Communion sung in minor (ArchipelaGO, THIS IS NOT A DRILL), 2024, immerses visitors in a sound and video installation that draws attention to the dangers of deep sea mining in the Pacific. By inviting the public into a participatory performance using mechanical paddles, Taumoepeau inspires audiences to consider: who will do the work to exercise ecological responsibility?
