Announcement: 

Oceanic Art Symposium

Organised by the Pacific Islands Museums Association (PIMA) 

and the Vanuatu Cultural Centre (VKS)

Port Vila, Vanuatu, 6–8 May 2008

Final date for Registration Monday 14 April 2008

The first Oceanic Art Symposium on “Oceanic Art Today: Status, Production
and Tendencies” provides a space for international art scholars and museum
professionals to share new ideas about creative traditions and contemporary
arts practice in the Pacific region today. The symposium, organised by PIMA
and the VKS in collaboration with the French Embassy in Vanuatu, aims to
ensure the safeguarding of intangible creative traditions, the transmission
of knowledge and the stimulation of interest amongst young generations of
artists to keep contemporary practice alive and evolving. The symposium will
include the opportunity for participants to identify opportunities for
international and regional interaction with Pacific Islands’ museums,
artists and creative industries. It will be an opportunity to promote
recognition of PIMA’s Code of Ethics for Pacific Islands Museums and
Cultural Centres, and to develop the relationship between PIMA and the
Pacific Arts Association (PAA). The symposium aims to produce a set of
recommendations advocating the way forward for enhancing ethical research
and practice in the field of Oceanic Art. 

Optional Tour (additional cost)

The two-day symposium will be preceded by an optional one-day field trip to
Chief Roi Mata’s Domain on Efate Island, Vanuatu’s first World
Heritage-nominated site.

 

Of additional interest to visitors, the Vanuatu National Sand Drawing
Festival will be held on the island of Ambrym from the 13th to the 15th of
May, the week after the Symposium.
