The Library
January 11, 2025 - Ongoing

Responsive Artwork by Lucy Montelongo in ceremony with Pasifika Wisdom Keepers. Photo by Melodie Turori.
Behold the riches of Pasifika histories when ancestral artifacts sit in relationship with books, photos, cassettes, maps, and articles documenting stories of the Pacific Ocean and her people. When museum space becomes library space, we recognize the Traditional Knowledges gathered in cultural materials shaped by human hands. What future will we create when ancestral artifacts become the textbooks that re-interpret a world built by written words?
