This webinar will delve beyond Gauguin himself, shedding light on the
colonial context during his time in Tahiti and the enduring legacy of
Western colonization in the South Pacific.

In 2020, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen presented the exhibition
"Paul Gauguin – Why Are You Angry?" This exhibit not only mapped the myth
surrounding the artist but also unveiled the transhistorical colonial myth
of Tahiti, both within and beyond Gauguin's creations.

Join us in this webinar featuring New Zealand-Australian artist Angela
Tiatia and Australian-American historian and Pacific expert Patricia
O’Brien. The conversation will be moderated by Anna Kærsgaard Gregersen,
curator of French Art from the 19th and 20th century at the Glyptotek.

Using the exhibition "Paul Gauguin – Why Are You Angry?" as a starting
point, this conversation brings together the research and shared interests
of Tiatia and O’Brien, which include gender, sexuality, race, and
femininity. Specifically, the webinar will delve into the colonial
stereotype of the exoticized Pacific island woman that extends far beyond
Gauguin's works.

Patricia O’Brien is a wide-ranging historian and analyst of Australia, New
Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. She is the author of *Tautai: Sāmoa,
World History and the Life and Ta’isi O. F. Nelson* (2017), *The Pacific
Muse: Exotic Femininity and the Colonial Pacific* (2006). She has held the
Jay I. Kislak Fellow in American Studies at the John W. Kluge Center at the
Library of Congress (2011), the J. D. Stout Fellow in New Zealand Studies
at Victoria University Wellington (2012) and was an Australian Research
Council Future Fellow at the Australia National University (2012-2019)
where she remains attached to the Department of Pacific Affairs. In 2020,
she returned to Georgetown University, where she worked from 2000-2013, to
the university’s Asian Studies and History departments.
Angela Tiatia explores contemporary culture through performance, moving
image, painting, sculpture and photography, drawing out the relationships
between representation, gender, neo-colonialism and the commodification of
body and place. Often through the lenses of history, popular and material
culture, the artist moves deftly in her compositions of still and moving
image from pointed detail to satellite view addressing themes within power
structures and how these impact the individual and their communities.

Anna Kærsgaard Gregersen holds an MA in Art History from the University of
Copenhagen and is a curator of French Art of the 19th and 20th century at
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen. Her curatorial practice focuses on
transhistorical and transnational dialogues across contemporary, modern,
and ancient art, exploring and challenging the conventions of contemporary
exhibition practices. Recent exhibitions include: Abbas Akhavan – curtain
call (2023), Suzanne Valadon – model, painter, rebel (2022); Michael
Armitage – Account of An Illiterate Man (2021) and Paul Gauguin – Why Are
You Angry? (2020).
