Pacific Arts vol. 22 Cover

HAVC Associate Professor Stacy Kamehiro and Visual Studies PhD candidate Maggie Wander (2015 cohort) are pleased to announce that Pacific Arts, vol. 22, no. 1 (March 2022) has been released as an open access, peer reviewed, online journal published through the University of California’s eScholarship platform. This special issue, guest edited by Prof. Kamehiro, focuses on the theme “Pacific Island Worlds: Oceanic Dis/Positions,” which explores past and present visual art forms and practices related to place-making and identity formations in Oceania. Colonial interactions have produced a range of mobilities, yielding fraught processes of displacement, establishing new homes, and forming social, cultural, and political positions in the face of various dis-positionings. Articles and creative work lend insight into understanding human experiences in Oceania that generate future imaginings and contribute not only to a “mode of survival,” but to “an art of living” across the region. Contributors include: Christina Ayson Plank (Visual Studies 2018 cohort), Joe Balaz, Jesi Luhan Bennett, Jewel Block, Kaili Chun, James Clifford, Kelly Joseph, Stacy L. Kamehiro, Yuki Kihara, Claudia Ledderucci, Diana Looser, Katharine Losi Atafu-Mayo, Margo Machida, Kelema Moses, Carl F. K. Pao, Giles Peterson, Meleia Simon-Reynolds, Karen Stevenson, Mārata Tamaira, Katerina Teaiwa, Axelle Toussaint (Visual Studies 2017 cohort), and Michelle Williams.
