In this Archive Case display, artists Simon Grennan and Soloman Enos re-examine the work of nineteenth century author Robert Louis Stevenson through dynamic graphic storytelling. The illustration-led display explores the journey of ideas across media (remediation) in the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, Robert Louis Stevenson’s fascination with ‘the foreign’, and post-colonialism in the Pacific, including new poetry focused on Hawaiian, Samoan and European post-colonialism.
“Revisiting Robert Louis Stevenson in the Pacific” is open to the public between 12 June 2024 and 30 June 2025. For more information visit https://www.prm.ox.ac.uk/event/revisiting-stevenson
