About

Across Oceans: Indigenous Solidarity Throughout Pasifika and Beyond provides a glimpse into a diversity of contemporary Indigenous art based largely in cultures connected to the Pacific Ocean. These works, whose origins range from Australia to Hawaiʻi to the west coast of the United States and Canada, are brought together to reveal possibilities for solidarity and empowerment rooted in community, continuity, and self-determination.

A Space for Dialogue is a student-curated exhibition program that began in 2001. Hood Museum of Art interns create an installation drawn from the museum's permanent collection by engaging with every aspect of curation, from doing research and selecting objects, to choosing frames and a wall color, to planning a layout and writing labels and a brochure, to giving a public talk. There have been over 100 A Space for Dialogue exhibitions on a wide variety of themes.  

A Space for Dialogue: Fresh Perspectives on the Permanent Collection from Dartmouth Students, founded with support from the Class of 1948, is made possible with generous endowments from the Class of 1967, Bonnie and Richard Reiss Jr. '66, and Pamela J. Joyner '79.
