Abstract
Following the Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded Fijian Art research project and its culmination in the exhibition Fiji: Art & Life in the Pacific (Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich, 2016-171 ), the project team received further funding to translate the results of that project into substantial impacts in Fiji. Under the banner of ‘International Development’ the project engaged with nonacademic communities in the hope to bring lasting benefit to Fiji in the cultural heritage sector. The aim of this paper is to reflect on
some of the activities that were organised during the project Fiji’s Artistic Heritage: Impact and Engagement in Fiji (AHRC Follow-onFunding Scheme) and to focus on challenges of translating research into impact and engagement. The most tangible outcome of this project was the exhibition Kamunaga: the story of tabua at the Fiji Museum (2017), curated by staff of the Fiji Museum and iTaukei Trust Fund Board, which is the main case study of this paper.
