"A deep dive into the maritime history of the South Pacific, weaving together ancient oral traditions with contemporary sculptural responses to rising sea levels."

About

Spanning both wings of the gallery, this exhibition investigates the complex relationship between Pacific cultures and the ocean. Through immersive installations, soundscapes, and archival materials, artists challenge traditional colonial narratives of the sea. The work presented focuses on environmental resilience, ancestral memory, and the aesthetic legacy of the Pacific rim in contemporary art discourse.
