“For what is Earth but an island in our solar system?” These words from Teresia Kieuea Teaiwa’s 2007 poem To Island envision even the humblest of land masses as worlds of majesty and wonder. I first heard them during a public program for “Re-Stor(y)ing Oceania,” an exhibition curated by Bougainville-born artist Taloi Havini that coursed with the ancestral power of the ocean. Two sensorial artworks by Latai Taumoepeau and Elisapeta Hinemoa Heta anchored the presentation, summoning action through feeling and foregrounding Indigenous knowledge systems from Oceania as integral to cultural and ecological preservation.
