Knowledge Dissemination and Research Guidance

As a strong proponent of knowledge sharing, co-creation, and learning from experience, Kaea excels in providing talks, presentations, and events that spark conversation and promote a global collaborative movement for the return of ancestral human remains and cultural heritage. Kaea can also guide and support provenance research initiatives to advance the knowledge and understanding of various cultural contexts.

Challenges in Establishing Provenance
