Being Pacific contextualizes the cultural vigor and historical narratives of artists and their experiences originating from the Pacific Islands. With a strong foundation in empowerment, the lens is placed on the truth of community relationships and their starting points. Examining an array of works that dialogue emotional conflicts, tradition, practices, colonialism, and their verity, Being Pacific is merely a small fragment of the Oceania’s diary, but carries the load of what it really means to identify as Pacific Islander.
