The essay details how the show, while rooted in Southern California, attempted to suture the ways in which the Pacific has been divided by colonial and imperialist powers and, thus, is regularly presented in large-scale exhibitions. It argues that the work in </em>Transformative Currents<em> both disembarked from Southern California and seemingly always recalled it, <span style=\"background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;\">the artists navigating the Pacific searching for points of solidarity, not places for subjugation.</span></em></span></p>",
