Contemporary art from the Pacific Islands is rarely exhibited in the United States. Artists throughout the Pacific usually exhibit their work in Aotearoa-New Zealand, Australia, Asia, and Europe.

Opening day of the exhibit, Saturday, April 28, will be a “Focus on Pacific Islander Contemporary Film and Performance” held in La Fetra Auditorium. New films from Aotearoa-New Zealand and the Samoa Islands will be previewed, followed by a media and performance panel discussion moderated by Maori writer Michelle Erai of UCLA, and include filmmakers Sila Agavale, Micki Davis, Alex Munoz, Napoleon Tavale and others. Erai will be also moderating an artist’s panel with visual artists Chantal Fraser, Chuck Feesago, Tanu Gago, Rosanna Raymond, Angela Tiatia, and Dan Taulapapa McMullin.

Following, US actor-playwright Napoleon Tavale will perform an excerpt of his one-person work, INOA FANAU (Birth of a Name), in tandem with a poetry performance hour together with fellow poets Sila Tuitupou and Dan Taulapapa McMullin.

This afternoon program will be completed with an artist reception at the Harris Gallery for “ATA: An Exhibition of Contemporary Samoan Art,” including an art performance by London-based Samoan-Maori artist, Rosanna Raymond.

Contemporary art from the Pacific Islands is rarely exhibited in the United States. Artists throughout the Pacific usually exhibit their work in Aotearoa-New Zealand, Australia, Asia, and Europe. This exhibit hopes to break that practice and make a statement for new, contemporary visual art, filmmaking, and performance with some of the new and most important emerging contemporary artists of the Pacific Islands today.

“ATA: An Exhibition of Contemporary Samoan Art” features artists Jewel Castro (US), Chantal Fraser (AU), Chuck Feesago (US), Graham Fletcher (NZ), Tanu Gago (NZ), Shigeyuki Kihara (NZ), Mau Mauiava (NZ), Rosanna Raymond (UK), Daniel Satele (NZ), Siliga David Setoga (NZ), Angela Tiatia (AU), and Dan Taulapapa McMullin (US).


Opening day of the exhibit, Saturday, April 28, will be a “Focus on Pacific Islander Contemporary Film and Performance” held in La Fetra Auditorium. New films from Aotearoa-New Zealand and the Samoa Islands will be previewed, followed by a media and performance panel discussion moderated by Maori writer Michelle Erai of UCLA, and include filmmakers Sila Agavale, Micki Davis, Alex Munoz, Napoleon Tavale and others. Erai will be also moderating an artist’s panel with visual artists Chantal Fraser, Chuck Feesago, Tanu Gago, Rosanna Raymond, Angela Tiatia, and Dan Taulapapa McMullin.

Following, US actor-playwright Napoleon Tavale will perform an excerpt of his one-person work, INOA FANAU (Birth of a Name), in tandem with a poetry performance hour together with fellow poets Sila Tuitupou and Dan Taulapapa McMullin.

This afternoon program will be completed with an artist reception at the Harris Gallery for “ATA: An Exhibition of Contemporary Samoan Art,” including an art performance by London-based Samoan-Maori artist, Rosanna Raymond.

Come and hear the voices that will ignite change!

Throughout history, audiences have been compelled into action by
the powerful words of many great leaders. It is often wondered, however,
why these voices seem typically silent in the age of the Internet, cell
phones, and sound bites. Even with the advent of recent protests, their
messages seem to get lost in the mix. The academic intersection of
historical contextualization and applied rhetorical theory can help us
devise a mechanism not only to appreciate the magic of these historical
speeches, but perhaps embolden a new generation to take their place on
the podium, behind the lectern and create their own history.

Contemporary art from the Pacific Islands is rarely exhibited in the United States. Artists throughout the Pacific usually exhibit their work in Aotearoa-New Zealand, Australia, Asia, and Europe. This exhibit hopes to break that practice and make a statement for new, contemporary visual art, filmmaking, and performance with some of the new and most important emerging contemporary artists of the Pacific Islands today.

“ATA: An Exhibition of Contemporary Samoan Art” features artists Jewel Castro (US), Chantal Fraser (AU), Chuck Feesago (US), Graham Fletcher (NZ), Tanu Gago (NZ), Shigeyuki Kihara (NZ), Mau Mauiava (NZ), Rosanna Raymond (UK), Daniel Satele (NZ), Siliga David Setoga (NZ), Angela Tiatia (AU), and Dan Taulapapa McMullin (US).


Opening day of the exhibit, Saturday, April 28, will be a “Focus on Pacific Islander Contemporary Film and Performance” held in La Fetra Auditorium. New films from Aotearoa-New Zealand and the Samoa Islands will be previewed, followed by a media and performance panel discussion moderated by Maori writer Michelle Erai of UCLA, and include filmmakers Sila Agavale, Micki Davis, Alex Munoz, Napoleon Tavale and others. Erai will be also moderating an artist’s panel with visual artists Chantal Fraser, Chuck Feesago, Tanu Gago, Rosanna Raymond, Angela Tiatia, and Dan Taulapapa McMullin.

Following, US actor-playwright Napoleon Tavale will perform an excerpt of his one-person work, INOA FANAU (Birth of a Name), in tandem with a poetry performance hour together with fellow poets Sila Tuitupou and Dan Taulapapa McMullin.

This afternoon program will be completed with an artist reception at the Harris Gallery for “ATA: An Exhibition of Contemporary Samoan Art,” including an art performance by London-based Samoan-Maori artist, Rosanna Raymond.
