Oceania : the shape of time
Made up of the multiple island communities contained within Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, Oceania is known for works of art and ritual objects that tell a wealth of stories about origins, ancestral power, performance, and initiation. Diverging from the approaches that categorize Oceanic art by region, this book considers the connections between all Austronesian-speaking peoples, whose ancestral homes span Southeast Asia, Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the island archipelagoes of the North and East Pacific. A focus on the objects themselves -- from carved ancestral figures in ceremonial houses to ritual regalia such as slit drums, skull reliquaries, and turtle-shell masks -- provides a look at Oceania as a whole with support from multidisciplinary research in art history, ethnography, and archaeology.

What's in a name - the label 'Pasifika'
Ponders the meaning of the term 'Pasifika' particularly when applied to modern and contemporary visual culture within New Zealand. Considers her own feelings, as an artist of mixed Pākehā and Samoan heritage, about the label, as compared to being labelled Samoan, Polynesian, or Pacific Islander.
