Join artist and scholar Katerina Teaiwa, along with curators Yuki Kihara and Jess Mio, for a talk on the Project Banaba exhibition.

This exhibition explores how the island of Banaba was devastated by phosphate mining during the 20th century, leading to the total relocation of its people on 15 December 1945.

About the creator of Project Banaba:
Katerina Teaiwa, of Banaban, I-Kiribati and African American descent, is Associate Professor in Pacific Studies at the Australian National University, Canberra. She is the author of Consuming Ocean Island (2015), a definitive history of Banaba; and editor with Polly Stupples of Contemporary Perspectives on Art and International Development (2016). Katerina has a background in contemporary Pacific dance and was a founding member of the Oceania Dance Theatre in Fiji.

Free entry, all welcome.
