The remarkable turtle shell masks from the Torres Strait are keepers of history and ancient wisdom for Islanders. Join Leah Lui-Chivizhe and Julia Horne as they reflect on how objects can be used to write history and how the masks and their taking prodded Lui-Chivizhe to traverse the material, spiritual and more-thanhuman worlds of Islanders. A brief overview from the author will be followed by comments and questions from the discussant and a Q&A with the audience.
