PACIFIC SUPERHEROES

PACIFIC SUPERHEROES this is what its all about, share information to further our education and cultural interaction for further protection and expression with our stories, performances and people who need to be flooding the web and the international space and scene, to stay active for our daily ‘put it on the table’ PACIFIC SUPERHERO feed. Whewww did u get all that!

Thank you Jenny Fraser for inviting us all to get out and support whats happening in our pacific paradise. ‘The Others’ is an exhibition in Noumea, New Caledonia, showcasing indigenous/aboriginal artists from Australia with supporting artists from the asia-pacific region, who have a mutual respect and common place for ritual, ceremony, legend, politics and more. Check it out pplz!!!

‘the others’ or ‘les autres’ is the touring name of ‘the other APT‘, a multi-art form exhibition produced to coincide with and respond to the 5th Asia Pacific Triennial, with a similar focus – of art within the Asia-Pacific region. However, in the interest of protocol, best practice and inclusiveness, artworks were sought more locally, from Brisbane and beyond, to highlight the fact that Coastal areas have an interesting hybrid mix of artists, right here, right now, and are also in dialogue with the first people of Australia.

The primary curatorial premise of ‘the others / les autres‘ is to show works from Indigenous Australian Artists, and also show meaningful works from other Artists that may constitute them as a friend in culture and good visitor to this country, in meaningful dialogue and otherwise. In other words, Aboriginals actively engaging with each other, and those from other cultural backgrounds - Torres Strait Islander, Melanesian, Samoan, Maori, Japanese, Filipino and others from outside the Asia-Pacific Rim, providing a true survey, commenting on individual and shared experience. Naturally some of these works are collaborations - existing works, and also works produced especially for the other APT, but all really important discourse, culturally and historically towards the importance of place, ceremony, ritual, legend, identity, politics and mutual respect.
