Study Notes
Oceania Diaspora and Cultural Renewal
- NAIITS (Pacific Island Ethnic Art Museum) facilitates projects for wellbeing in Moana Nui and broader intercultural communities.
- Vā, relational space, holds separate entities together and provides context, meaning to things, is critical for re-awakening the "land within."
- Vā connects "land within" (ancestral homeland) with "land upon" (current environment).
- Oceanian land and sea are understood as dynamic maps of movement and pause.
- "Land within" is renewed through mapping interactions with people and nature.
- Cultural expression (art, music, etc.) is vital, embodying "land within" and current environment's values
Cultural Exchange & Diaspora
- Cultural practices are essential for sustaining and strengthening the Oceania diaspora.
- Art reflects mother culture and local environment, shaped by "land within" and "land upon".
- Sacred intergenerational spaces (PIEAM) offer context and creative production, uplifting communities.
- "Land within" must be embodied to survive.
- Ancestors' history is reflected in landscapes and creative works.
- Hau'ofa founded the Oceania Centre for Arts and Culture in Suva.
- This initiative reconnects the diaspora, seeks to share culture with ocean peoples outside of Moana Nui, and aims to harmonise cultures.
Hau'ofa's Vision and Themes
- Hau'ofa's vision is a movement centered in Oceania, flowing outward.
- Cultural exchange is already happening in diaspora, especially in urban areas.
- Cultural exchange should be intentional, grounded in both "land within" and "land upon".
- Shared storytelling and healing projects with other communities are crucial.
- Oceania peoples can learn from Indigenous and Black communities on Turtle Island about decolonization processes.
- Trust in Creator, "land upon" and "land within" visions of hope, are essential in this process.
