'Kanak, L'Art est une Parole'

Abstract

'Kanak, L'Art est une Parole' has opened at Musee du Quai Branly, some fifteen years after the Noumea Accord (1998), and 25 years following the Matignon Agreement (1988). It's a timely then for a commentary on the advancement of Kanak culture and patrimony, and a reflection on events that have since passed as negotiations around New Caledonian independence continue to play out.
