Fale-ships 2021 Round Up
As the year comes to a close, so do our Fale-ship Residencies! This year we were ecstatic to reactivate the digital moana with 10 new Tagata Moana artists alongside our three fabulous ambassadors, Viva Magazine, Basement Theatre and The Big Idea.
“The residencies are about more than platforming exciting talent during lockdown, they are driven by an indigenous determination to re-centre the power dynamic within the wider arts landscape. The celebration of Moana artists creating within their own sacred spaces is as political as it is beautiful,” explains Tautai director Courtney Sina Meredith.
A huge thank you to all of the Fale-ship artists, your work inspires and uplifts us. Enjoy this beautiful tribute as we honour and celebrate our artists, our ancestors and the community who awhi and support us everyday!
