{"product_id":"sis-pacific-art-1980-2023","title":"sis: Pacific Art 1980–2023","description":"sis: Pacific Art 1980-2023 honours and celebrates the work and stories of women artists from across the Pacific, as told through the QAGOMA Collection. At a time when many art  museums are dedicated to redressing their under-representation of women artists, sis: Pacific  Art 1980-2023 speaks to the decades-long partnerships QAGOMA has developed with  women artists in the region, and to the Collection-building focus and commissioning of  important new work over ten iterations of the Gallery's Asia Pacific Triennial. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInformed by concepts of cultural resilience, self-determination, re-visioning colonial and  postcolonial histories, and the rejection of convention, sis: Pacific Art 1980-2023 presents a  range of new scholarship, which captures the diversity of artistic practice from across the  region. Much of its content focused on global and social issues, including the imminent threats borne of rising sea levels and the degradation of ocean and island habitats,  accompanied by a deep determination to maintain culture as a means of healing and  restoring communities. The works featured in sis: Pacific Art 1980-2023 convey what survival  means for our island neighbours, as they derive their strength from matrilineal leadership  drawing on the power, unity and humility of Pacific women. Comprising works that can be  considered both contemporary and customary, sis showcases textiles, ceramics,  photography, moving image, sculpture, installation, painting, performance, printmaking and  tattooing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich in imagery of process and context, this volume includes original photography from  QAGOMA's curatorial team's extensive travel throughout the Pacific over many years. sis: Pacific Art 1980-2023 - 240 pages with over 120 illustrations - is a beautiful and  inspiring publication, and a significant resource on contemporary Pacific culture.","brand":"Queensland Art Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664207908900,"sku":"9781925922141","price":54.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781925922141.jpg?v=1777407007","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/sis-pacific-art-1980-2023","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
