Pacific Century: E Ho'omau no Moananuiakea is a substantial publication and catalogue published on the occasion of the Hawai'i Triennial 2022 (HT22), providing key art historical backgrounds and contemporary discussions on art, expanding the frame of reference for the Asia-Pacific region.

Curatorial essays by the HT22 co-curators lay out the critical approaches that shaped the framework of the Triennial with the fluid concept of a Pacific Century, while a selection of previously published seminal texts by artists and scholars reflects on the expanded field of art history in the region.

Also included is a newly commissioned conversation with Homi K. Bhabha, illuminating his theoretical criticism that continues to carve out a new discursive space where the marginalised find their agency.

Each participating Triennial artist is included in a dedicated section with an original introductory text, work information, and images. Pacific Century: E Ho'omau no Moananuiakea will be an essential resource for critical exploration of contemporary art in Asia-Pacific at large.
