Bruce Connew — Stopover Stopover is a powerful exploration of history, place, and identity in the Pacific. Combining photography and text, Bruce Connew examines the complex legacies of colonialism, conflict, migration, and cultural memory, creating a work that is at once deeply personal and broadly resonant. Bringing together haunting imagery and thoughtful narrative, the publication reflects Connew's longstanding engagement with the Pacific and its histories. As Professor David Hanlon, Director of the Centre for Pacific Islands Studies at the University of Hawai'i, writes: “Connew’s work combines haunting images with a text that is poetic, elegant, and moving in its clarity. There is a power and persuasion to his work that even the most scholarly and responsible analyses cannot match.” Designed by Catherine Griffiths and Bruce Connew, Stopover is a substantial and beautifully produced publication that weaves photography and text into a compelling meditation on the Pacific and its enduring stories.
