Melanesia is one of the most culturally diverse and artistically fertile regions of the world. This book is an exporation of one of the richest collections of Melanesian art, that of the British Museum. It is the product of sustained dialogue with people from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, West Papua, and New Caledonia, who are authors or co-authors of many of its chapters. Melanesia: Art and Encounter is a companion to this outstanding collection. The book ranges over an extraordinary variety of historic and modern art forms, from striking masks and shell valuables to intricately woven fabrics, string bags, and paintings on canvas. It investigates histories of exploration and exchange, conversion to Christianity and cultural revival, drawing upon a wealth of new information gleaned from archives, photographs, oral histories, and dialogue with Melanesians. The book is a revelation, not only of the arts of Melanesia, but also of the challenges and possibilities of collaborative research today.

Art and Life in Melanesia provides a timely exploration of contemporary Melanesian artists and their creative voices. It covers major cultural themes including kastom, Christianity, Indigenisation and Globalisation, Markets, Festivals, Diasporas, urban culture and politics. Each theme focuses on ideas, issues and some specific arts practices, drawing examples from a few localities. Art and Life in Melanesia is based n many years of research in the region and will be an extremely welcome and timely addition to the publishing on this subject." --Dust jacket.
