The first Oceanic Art Symposium on “Oceanic Art Today:
Status, Production and Tendencies” provides a space
for international art scholars and museum professionals to share
new ideas about creative traditions and contemporary arts practice
in the Pacific region today. The symposium, organised by PIMA and
the VKS in collaboration with the French Embassy in Vanuatu, aims
to ensure the safeguarding of intangible creative traditions, the
transmission of knowledge and the stimulation of interest amongst
young generations of artists to keep contemporary practice alive
and evolving.
The symposium will include the opportunity for participants to
identify opportunities for international and regional interaction
with Pacific Islands’ museums, artists and creative industries.
It will be an opportunity to promote recognition of PIMA’s
Code of Ethics for Pacific Islands Museums and Cultural Centres,
and to develop the relationship between PIMA and the Pacific Arts
Association (PAA).
The symposium aims to produce a set of recommendations advocating
the way forward for enhancing ethical research and practice in the
field of Oceanic Art.
