Lalaga: Le Hui Fono
The project draws from the practices and wisdom of Lalaga/Raranga/Lalanga in seeking to weave together new and existing connections through creative practice and generate outcomes that uplift the aspirations of local communities.
Lalaga: Le Hui Fono features new works, including some created in the gallery during the exhibition produced in response to a series of residencies and exchanges among artists from Ng膩motu, S膩moa, Fiji, and Tonga that commenced in 2022. The inclusion of significant historical works also encourages a rekindling of connections and fosters new exchanges of knowledge and storytelling. The making, workshops, performance and talanoa throughout Lalaga: Le Hui Fono will transform the gallery into a space for sharing knowledge, questions, conversations, and creative possibilities that are shaped by Pasifika communities and creatives and contribute to collective culture and wellbeing.
