RIMPAC COLLAGE
This is a digital collage of research I have done on Australia’s historical reporting of Australian participation in RIMPAC since 1971 as one of the four founding members. The bottom layer of material was found in defense-related newspapers and magazines, one of which explicitly states “national newspapers seldom take a great deal of interest in military exercises involving Australian forces overseas”. I think this can give us some insight into the everyday 
Australians' lack of awareness of our active desecration of Kanaka Maoli lands, seas and skies at RIMPAC every two years. This is overlaid with a variety of colorful logos, designs and images found in the periodicals of or related to the regional Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific and Protect Kaho’olawe 'Ohana that resisted RIMPAC from its beginning. As an alternative press and source of information, the Pacific grassroots disrupted the silences of the Western media news cycle and educated people across the region on the devastation caused by RIMPAC for over 50 years. ​
