and Skills</i><span> </span>centres around the role of cultural institutions and practitioners in documenting, remaking and renewing practices and skills in the Pacific and among Pacific diasporas. The making of exhibitions and the collections research involved,
can create new ideas that inspire the development of new practices in the Pacific and elsewhere. In this conference we also want to pay special attention to grassroots documentation and musealisation ideas that spring from Pacific communities and to their
impact on current skills. Finally the contemporary debate around virtual and actual return of material culture continues to shape museological practices, programmes and policies. All these issues might impact the creation and revaluation of new Pan Pacific
identities.</span></span></span></p>
