Revival of Moanan Cultures and Traditions PDF Print E-mail
Written by Phoenix Editor   
siua.jpgThis is an Abstract by Siosiua F.Pouvalu Lafitani for his Seminar at the Australian Museum, Sydney. “Australian Museum: The Revival of Tongan, and Moanan, Arts, Traditions and Cultures within space (va), time (ta) & the categories ('uketo'iangama'u)” 

 

ABSTRACT

By

Siosiua F. Pouvalu Lafitani (aka. Tofua’ipangai)

 

(Chairperson of Lo’au Research Society & Director of Phoenix Tas-Moanan Consultancy, Canberra, 24th Tuesday of November 2009 Seminar, Australian Museum, Sydney NSW).    

 

This presentation highlights the intellectual and artistic significance of the Museum’s new hyperspace program, 'Virtual Museum of the Pacific', in reviving Tongan, and other Pacific/Moanan, cultures and oral traditions. It is a new program throughout space (va), time (ta) and the categories ('uketo'iangama'u) in hyperspace by which va, ta and 'uketo'iangama'u from the Moanan remote past are amalgamated with those of the present through reviving their intellectual and artistic significance in the light of cultures and oral traditions. Such a kind of program has geared and directed Moanan arts, cultures and oral traditions towards valuing the social, economic, political, ecological and moral rights of intellectual property.  Through interviewing and gathering pre-historical and historical information, Australian Museum has consequently encouraged Moanan people to appreciate more the wisdom and creativity of their ancestors.  Our remote past in terms of Moanan knowledge and skills, and in the light of cultural heritage, environmental and utilitative reasons, is therefore revived for the first time. Moanan artifacts are therefore no longer objects for the public to just visit for their uniqueness and artistic beauty, but are becoming cultural and traditional in nature through the employment of historical analysis and pre-historical explanations.  This implies that traditional Moanan works of art in the Virtual Museum of the Pacific are actually becoming part of both the Museum and academic ways of doing things, and no longer separated entities with no clear-cut intellectual interrelation and artistic interdependence throughout va, ta and 'uketo'iangama'u interaction (interception/interweaving).
