The Husk By Jasmine Stole Weiss - FestPAC FestPAC FestPAC
You’re reading The Husk's Weekender, a countdown/roundup of miscellanea from Micronesia, Guam, and Earth. bits from FestPAC 2024¹ from the early days now that the end is near Ahead of the start of the Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture, Tarcisius Kabutaulaka and Tammy Tabe wrote this opinion piece that ran in Honolulu Civil Beat. I’ve had the pleasure of learning from social anthropologist Tammy Tabe during the RPIL fellowship, and I really appreciated her insight into Pacific island issues. Importantly Tammy and Tarcisius note the absence of Kanaky/New Caledonia at FestPAC and bring up important issues about militarization, colonialism, and commodification of Pacific arts by non-Pacific Islanders in this piece. From their article:
Absolutely proud. Several highlights from the opening ceremony for me: Peep the Guåhan delegation bringing the Kanaky flag. (Just colonial struggles recognizing colonial struggles.) And the entire FSM presentation had me laughing and crying and in shambles, generally.
FestPAC is coming to a close, and everyone is sad about it. recent articles about Kanaky
recent reports from the USIP
Really engaging conversation with Theresa Arriola and Moneaka Flores on the Fanachu Podcast. “Free and open” Indo-Pacific has been rattling around in my head. Theresa and Moneaka eloquently dive into that phrase — and more — in a way that resonates. With each Weekender issue we’ll leave you with a send-off song (not necessarily from a Micronesian artist) curated by my brother, Henry, whose musical tastes have left a lifelong impression on me and, now hopefully, you. This month’s send-off song is “Drinkin’ Problem.” My brother sent the version by Midland but I’ve been hitting the Ekolu version heavyyyy. We’re building a send-off song playlist on Spotify that includes the songs mentioned in past Weekender posts. Check it out.
Thank you for reading! Have a great weekend, Jasmine 1 If your social media feeds haven’t been flooded with FestPAC content, you’re doing social media wrong.
