Contemporary Art from the Asia-Pacific Region
Published on the occasion of the Hawai‘i Triennial 2022 (HT22), Pacific Century—EHoʻomau no Moananuiākea examines key art historical backgrounds and contemporary discussions on art, expanding the frame of reference for the Asia-Pacific region. Essays by the co-curators lay out the critical approaches that shaped the framework of the Triennial around the fluid concept of a Pacific Century. A selection of texts by artists and scholars reflects upon the field of art history in the region. Also included is a newly commissioned conversation with Homi K. Bhabha, illuminating his theoretical criticism that continues to carve out a new discursive space where the marginalized can find agency. Participating HT22 artists—from Hawai‘i, Asia-Pacific, and beyond—are highlighted in a dedicated section with an original introductory text and images.
