Hello Colleagues,
I am searching out any rich sources/libraries/URLs for images from the
Spice Islands,( Islands such as Banda, Molaccas, ( Current name - Malaku),
from 16th century to the present, to support a QCA lecturer's PHD in this
area. He wants to trace the effects of colonialism and post colonialism
through image content.(Apparently " Birds of Paradise" were considered in
Europe to be from another world, because their feet were amputated for
easier transportation as pets, - how ghastly!)
He will travel to Amsterdam to study primary source material,located with
the Dutch East India Company collections. However I thought it would be
interesting to collect in this area, both in terms of books and slides.
Also if you know of any other helpful experts in this area he would like to
email them!
He has been helpful in creating slide sets on aboriginal/indigenous art
from field trips to the Northern Territory, and also has documented the
Sculpture Walk on Brisbane's Southbank. I don't know if anyone would be
interested in this sort of subject matter? If so I could put you in contact
with him. His work helped to win an educational award recently.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Jennifer QCA
