Oceania

Oceania is shaped by the relationship between land and ocean, encompassing ancient Indigenous cultures, island societies, migration, colonial histories and contemporary nations spread across an immense geography. The Pacific has functioned not simply as distance between communities, but as a field of navigation, exchange, ancestry and connection. Art of the World explores Oceania through its distinct places and cultural histories. The works consider how landscape, memory, movement and inherited knowledge contribute to identity, translating the complex relationship between locality and the wider world into contemporary visual form.
