Haus of Memories is a multidisciplinary residency project led by Studio Kiin that explores and gathers fragments of how we archive and draw upon memory to honour our future past. Local artists, communities and friends are invited to contribute and engage with text, visual art and live performance that embodies and unpacks how we remember ourselves as Indigenous peoples. Each iteration builds upon the last.

In this iteration, Haus of Memories, explores the domestication of memory institutions through elevating the bedroom as archive. Elsie Andrewes, Natasha Ratuva and Emele Ugavule draw upon illustration, photography, sound, and installations to imagine past, present and future expressions of their iTaukei blood memory within the comfort of their bedrooms.

Haus of Memories has been presented at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery (2021) and Cool Change Contemporary (2021). Previous collaborators have included The Amateka Series, Taonga Sendama, N’Gadie Roberts, Rusty Risque, Sereana Suguturaga.
