Postcolonial Studies Institute Melbourne

Ruark Lewis, who was here recently for his exhibition (currently showing in St Paul St. Gallery 1) is connected to this institute and is very interested in fostering a relationship with our organization. Check out their website for some interesting articles. I will keep in contact with him with a view to some of us going to Melbourne, perhaps, to discuss relationship and present papers at the institute while there. It is encouraging to see that people want to relate to us before we formally exist.

This blog offers a site for our thoughts, our discussions and dreams. I will post regular items for discussion and consideration and encourage others to do the same. Arohanui, Moata
