Composer and performer Percy Grainger was an avid collector, acquiring a number of objects from the Pacific region, both through dealers in Australia and on his travels in the area. These collections demonstrate the colonialism of early-twentieth-century European collecting practices. But they also reflect Grainger’s enthusiasm for the music and art of this region. This conference aims to interrogate the challenges and opportunities presented by working with this, and similar collections, in the twenty first century.
