Norfolk Island has many layers of history. The island is significant not only for its Polynesian settlement and convict heritage, but also for the distinctive culture and language of its Pitcairn Settler descendants. However, Pitcairn Settler heritage has long been downplayed in the presentation and interpretation of Norfolk Island’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area (KAVHA).
Reimagining KAVHA is an Australian Research Council-funded project which aims to explore the role living heritage sites can play in resisting or reinforcing cultural injustices.
