11.00 - 4.00
Small Exam Hall,
Arts School (two minutes walk from MAA)
For the first time
in a generation a large piece of barkcloth from MAA's collection will be
on display in Cambridge. Nearly 15 metres in length, this barkcloth was
part of a presentation by the Tui Cakau to Sir Arthur Gordon (the first
British Governor of Fiji), as part of the conclusion of the Great Council of
Chiefs Meeting on 12 December 1876. See the barkcloth and take part in
drop-in family activities to explore the patterns. In association with
MAA's exhibition "Chiefs and Governors: Art and Power in Fiji".
