Singing in Unison, Part 8: Between Waves, curated by Alice, Nien-Pu Ko, attests a similar ethos by focusing on the Asia-Pacific region, as Fijian anthropologist Epeli Hauʻofa had suggested in his “Our Sea of Islands” (1993) viewing the wholeness of their relationship from a comprehensive interdependent perspective. Some 25,000 islands, islets, and atolls are scattered amidst the Pacific Ocean, with nearly 1,000 languages spoken in total. Drawing on histories, oceanic myths, and stories, in addition to the shared political traumas resulting from colonialism, the Cold War, militarism, warfare, and ecological disaster, many regions remain in constant flux: an ever-changing militarization throughout the islands. Concurrently, in implementing the coexistence of traditional and modern thinking as responses to the growing geopolitical tensions, and conflicting social values, among other frictions, this exhibition explores these layers of complexity through the works of seventeen artists, filmmakers, photographers, poets, musicians, and thinkers from Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, Borneo, Jeju Island, the Hawaiian islands, Samoa, and New Zealand.
