We love art and our arts community, so Moana Fresh has teamed up with the Pacifica Arts Centre, Tāmaki Makaurau, to host a free Talanoa Sessions Event, Saturday, 27th July, 10am-3.30pm.

We’re bringing together ten artists to share their stories and talanoa around building community, how art and money can work together, and sharing work beyond the shores of Moana Nui-a-Kiwa.

Are you an emerging Moana creative interested in working as an artist, in artist-run spaces or collectives? The Talanoa Sessions Event is part of Vuli Tara (to learn from hands-on experience), an emerging artists mentoring programme initiated by Moana Fresh.

Knowledge holders include: Melanie Tangaere Baldwin(HOEA! Gallery), Luisa Tora(Veiqia Collective), Emily Mafile'o(Taro Patch), Vea Mafile'o(Taro Patch), Cora-Allan, Jessica Palalagi, Geoffrey Matautia, John Vea, Pelenakeke Brown, Raymond Sagapolutele.

BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL AS SPACES ARE LIMITED
