In 2009 eX de Medici was sent to interpret Australian involvement in peacekeeping operations in the Solomon Islands. Central to the body of work de Medici produced was the theme of colonisation. She saw several distinct layers of intervention; from the era when the Solomon Islands was a British protectorate to when invading forces arrived during the Second World War, and from foreign investment in the islands’ natural resources to the arrival of RAMSI (Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands).
