How does design and innovation shape people’s lives in the
Pacific? Focusing on plant materials from the region, How Materials
Matter reveals ways in which a variety of people – from
craftswomen and scientists to architects and politicians – work
with materials to transform worlds. Recognizing the fragile and
ephemeral nature of plant fibres, this work delves into how the
biophysical properties of certain leaves and their aesthetic
appearance are utilized to communicate information and manage
different forms of relations. It breaks new ground by situating
plant materials at the centre of innovation in a region.
