Reimagining Captain Cook
Pacific Perspectives
- British Museum
- by Julie Adams, Lissant Bolton, Theano Guillaume-Jaillet, Mary McMahon, Gaye Sculthorpe
On the 250th anniversary of Captain James Cook's voyages of exploration, this publication reflects on and charts the legacies of his encounters with Pacific peoples. Objects collected and images made on or associated with the voyages are explored alongside artworks created by contemporary artists from the Pacific region. Together, they reveal that understandings of history are rarely agreed and always shifting, while Cook and the impacts of his voyages are reimagined as complex, contentious and unresolved.
