Shifting Patterns: Pacific Barkcloth Clothing
In the islands of the Pacific, cloth made from the inner bark of trees is a distinctive art tradition, most likely brought to the region at least 5000 years ago by some of the first human settlers. This exhibition is dedicated to clothing and adornment made from barkcloth, showing a selection of garments, headdresses, masks and body adornment.
Spanning the region from New Guinea in the west to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in the east, barkcloth is made in a myriad of styles and designs, reflecting the particular histories of each island group and the creativity of the makers.
