Synopsis

“The siapo makers of old would be proud to see that their love for siapo has been brought into the present-day through the writing of Mary Anne Peck.” –

Reggie Meredith Fitiao, Siapo Maker, Professor of Art

Siapo: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is an exploration of the barkcloth art of the Samoan islands through the lived experiences of the siapo makers of the early 20th century, the museum professionals working with barkcloth today, and the students stepping up to carry this art form into the future. In each chapter, Mary Anne Peck provides a peek into the lives of siapo makers, the efforts underway to perpetuate indigenous art forms, and the essence of the measina, the precious things, of Samoa.

Siapo: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is a vital resource for anyone interested in indigenous art, textiles, art history, Samoan history, or siapo-making in the twenty-first century.
