Description: Over 140 works that tell the story of the past and the future of the art of an extraordinary archipelago - more than 330 islands lying in the area between Australia and Hawaii - a melting pot of people with different cultures, traditions, identities, languages. Traditional and more contemporary art that address local and global themes and problems: the eternal beauty of nature alongside the upheavals of climate change; the charm of ancient ceremonies lost in the mists of time and the irrepressible social conscience of the new generations. A great repertoire of materials, as well as styles, ideas of beauty and inspiration, that testify to the creativity and imagination of these island artists who, despite differences and distances, continue to be linked by the common ocean that holds them together as a great community.
