Book - Kanak Notebooks: An Inventory Journey by Roger Boulay
Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac
Description
Discover Carnets Kanak, a sensitive and essential volume bringing together Roger Boulay's watercolor sketches-unique records of an inventory mission dedicated to the dispersed Kanak heritage.
The result of the Inventory of Dispersed Kanak Heritage (IPKD) project, conducted between 2011 and 2015 in museums across France and Europe, this book chronicles an exceptional journey of heritage and humanity. Through his watercolor sketchbooks, Roger Boulay delicately documents Kanak works preserved far from their territory of origin, blending a scientific eye with artistic sensitivity.
These sketchbooks, donated by the author in 2019, have been incorporated into the collections of the Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac within the holdings dedicated to historical and contemporary globalization. Blending memory, art, and transmission, this book offers a valuable insight into the history of the collections and the circulation of cultures.
