“Ben Burt, Educational Curator at the British Museum where I give workshops on Palestinian music, encouraged me to contact a group of women from the Micronesian islands of Kiribati, who are married to English men and live all over the UK. “They teach each other and their children traditional song and dance.” This lured me to Fareham near Southampton, where the I-Kiribati women were meeting to commemorate a family death. As in a traditional maneaba assembly house, the women sang about unrequited love and the sea. They laughed, cried, danced and welcomed me into this celebration of a life that was and the life that is. Their islands may be threatened by rising sea levels, yet they dream of the same sea transporting them back to their Pacific idyll: Islands Here, Islands There.”
