About

Dr Maia Nuku, Oceania Curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, presents Museum Talks: Weaving Histories into Futures. She reflects on the decade-long transformation of the Met's Arts of Oceania galleries and the physical and conceptual changes that reshaped how the collections are understood and presented. Jade Hadfield, Curator of First Nations Pasifika Collections at Museums Victoria, then joins her to discuss whether museums can serve as living, dynamic archives of Indigenous knowledge and how they can connect histories to future generations. Booking is available.
