Kastom and Tabu Allier at the museum: Vanuatu objects management and exhibition

Abstract

Secret and sacred are extremely linked in Vanuatu. Some cultural rights precisely dictate and restrict how people can access to sacred objects and knowledges. These rules, as well as the traditions they are connected to, are also important for affirming identity inside this young state. This paper questions how to manage and exhibit those sacred objects in different settings, in the Vanuatu cultural center in Port-Vila (Vanuatu Kaljoral Senta), as well as in the case of temporary exhibitions organised by museums in Europe or in Pacific islands. Thus, we discuss the different significations of those objects and the possibility to create a cultural dialogue regarding their management.
