Vā Moana conference: presentations published online

We are pleased to announce that many of the presentations shared at our conference, ‘Vā Moana: space and relationality in Pacific thought and identity’, are now available to watch online.

The conference was part of our 2019-2023 Marsden project, which documents and conceptually investigates current conditions of vā and related notions that are relevant to local, regional and global constellations. Academic researchers, cultural historians, artists, students and others assembled (in-person and/or on-line) in November 2021 to explore histories and current practices of vā and their relevance for Moana Futures.

We thank the presenters for permitting us to publish their presentations online, and acknowledge the Marsden Fund (Royal Society Te Apārangi) which enabled us to host this gathering for free.
