Book excerpt: The title of the volume is also that of the Pacific Arts Association's Fourth International Symposium on Arts in the Pacific, held at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, in August 1989. Twenty-two diverse papers address various aspects of preserving artistic heritage and commuting that heritage to modern times. The challenge: simple re-creation, when channelled into economic returns for the artist, leads only to replication, unless new forms and contexts revitalize the creative use of old forms.
