Re-Stor(y)ing Oceania is a ground-breaking Pacific-led exhibition comprising two site-specific commissions by artists Latai Taumoepeau and Elisapeta Hinemoa Heta, curated by Bougainville-born artist Taloi Havini.

Through story, song, performance, action and activism, it invites you to connect with communities living on the islands and atolls of the Southern Hemisphere and to listen to their demands for greater climate justice.

Heta’s architectural installation The Body of Wainuiātea is designed as a space for exchange and sharing that embodies ritual and ceremony guided by the Māori concept of tikanga. Taumopeau’s work Deep Communion sung in minor (ArchipelaGO, THIS IS NOT A DRILL) is designed to engage you as a visitor; through your movements you become one of the protagonists in a collective ritual, and send an invocation to protect the ocean.

Throughout the project a series of conversations, performances and actions will take place with audiences, and with Pacific communities and sporting teams.
