Author Description

"Oceania is a collaborative exhibition project which will be dramatically staged across Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and City Gallery Wellington during the Real New Zealand Festival 2011. Comprising two distinct but complementary exhibitions, Oceania explores the richness of Māori, Pacific and Pākehā cultures--and points of connection and influence between them--and offers an unprecedented glimpse into the soul of the region. This book is not only a catalogue of the two exhibitions, but with the four illustrated essays, it dives deeper into the oceanic histories and traditions that are represented through the artists' work represented."--Publisher description.
