In the pages of Captain Cook’s ‘tapa’ book, a hidden story of stolen culture
A little book, fragrant and full of bark 'tapa' cloth, started as an 18th-century curio collected by Captain James Cook on his journeys to the South Pacific. But the swatches tell their own tales of the first trades - sometimes coerced - between cultures, and of an ancient Pacific art form practiced only by women. Clancy Balen and Qiushi Wang kick off our Uncurated podcast series.
