Event description
Studio Kiin are excited to share that we have started Rarama Ink, an independent publishing press with the support of our generous Boosted x Moana donors, The Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi and Creative New Zealand.
To celebrate Poetry month, join us on the 23rd of August to launch our debut publication - Kalokalo by Arieta Tegeilolo Talanoa Tora Rika - with conversation facilitated by Emele Ugavule and readings from Pasifika guest poets from Western Sydney.
Kalokalo, meaning stars in Vosa vakaViti, is Arieta Rika's first published collection of poems, spanning themes of motherhood, romance, friendship, grief, anger, healing, love. Published by Rarama Ink in collaboration with 5ever Books, edited by Emele Ugavule and Losalini Tuwere (Vosa vakaViti), and designed by Elsie Andrewes, Kalokalo takes readers on a journey through the galaxies of human emotion.Dedicated to her children, and an ode to her paternal island home of Fiji, Kalokalo is an intimate insight into the whispers of a mother to her child, a daughter to her father, reflections between sisters, lovers, enemies and friends.
