This exhibition is a reflection of a Pasifika journey across generations.
"Within this body of work, I draw on the fears, the loves, the courage, and the hopes of the women and tūpuna in my life. Their example is a heritage that my children, and my children’s children, can embrace as a part of their identity with pride. But this is a story that is not just mine: this is a story common to women throughout the ages, from many similar cultures. It is a seasonal narrative that we can recognise and take heart in" - Carolynn Tepou
