Enlarge image

Dr. Katerina Teaiwa is a Banaban and I-Kiribati scholar, activist, and artist whose work focuses on representations of Pacific peoples, historical and environmental justice, and the politics of mobility in relation to climate change and colonial projects. She engages many of these themes in her book Consuming Ocean Island: Stories of People and Phosphate from Banaba, a story of phosphate mining for industrial agriculture and its harmful ramifications for Banabans and their environment. She transformed her research into a multimedia exhibition titled Project Banaba that has toured Australia and Aotearoa and will be showcased at the Bishop Museum Nov 4 2023 - Feb 18, 2024.
