Manatunatu
by Manatunatu 03 October - 26 October Opening - Friday, 4 October 5-7pm Manatunatu (the Samoan word for Reflections) gives visual voice to five artists as they map their creative journeys through their art. Hailing from Samoa, their art reflects the powerful influence of legends, identity, experiences, and faith in their lives. With a focus on using repurposed materials 'Manatunatu' reflects the influences of the Pasifika past to its artful expression today. "Our Intention is to create awareness of the many different influences of Pacific culture from past to present. We all create art that is influenced by living in the Pacific and using material from our surroundings. With increased sensitivity on repurposing material." This collection of work has journeyed from Samoa. It hopes to inspire its audience to reflect on their own life journeys. |
