The project began in earnest with the first research trip to Hawai‘i and Tahiti, as the UK-based investigatory team were hosted in Honolulu by project artists, scholars and practitioners. As well as learning more about the Pacific Islands the Stevenson family visited in the late 1880s, such as the Tuamotus, the team also carried out the initial phase of community-based participatory arts workshops in Princess Ruth Ke’elikōlani Middle School and Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School in Honolulu. From student contributions to Simon Grennan’s ‘Make the Past Your Story’ collage event to Solomon Enos’s mural design activity, these workshops helped to shape the project artists’ visions of their graphic adaptations throughout the artistic process.
