The Pitt Rivers Exhibition- Oxford

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”  was 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

The silent film loop which was part of the Pitt Rivers Museum exhibit is available here. It features the locations our project team visited in Tahiti Nui and Fakarava, the Big Island and Molokai in Hawai’i, and Sāmoa.
