Exploring Project Banaba: Dance, Identity & Pacific Heritage at the Chau Chak Wing Museum

Join Rebecca Conway from the Chau Chak Wing Museum as she delves into Project Banaba - a powerful exhibition exploring Pacific heritage, dance, identity, and the legacy of phosphate mining on Banaba. In this talk, Rebecca shares the story behind the exhibition’s creation, including its collaboration with academic & artist Professor Katerina Teaiwa (ANU) and curator Yuki Kihara, and how the project uses art, dance, and museum collections to reconnect Banaban cultural memory across generations. ✨ What you’ll learn in this video: The history and impact of phosphate mining on Banaba How art and dance preserve and reimagine cultural identity The creation of new Barnaban dance notations and contemporary costumes The role of museums in supporting community-led cultural storytelling How the exhibition engaged students, researchers, and Pacific communities Behind-the-scenes insights into collaborations, workshops, and outreach programs Featuring beautiful reflections on intergenerational identity, feminist reinterpretation of archival material, and the importance of Pacific-led storytelling, this presentation highlights how a “small” exhibition can make a significant cultural impact.
