'What is your VVAI?' exhibition - final day

  • Fresh Gallery 5/45 Fair Mall Ōtara (map)

This is your last day to see this exhibition by the OC’s Jasmine Tuiā and her artistic collaborator Ashleigh Taupaki.

‘VVAI’ combines the Māori term for water (wai) with its Samoan equivalent (vai). 'What is your VVAI?' focuses on the life cycles of Pacific cultural materials connected to place, space, and people.

The collaboration stems from the artists’ 2021 NEO Digital Residency with the Übersee Museum in Bremen, Germany. This programme asked its participants to investigate what it means to name Pacific cultural objects within a museum context.
