Sit back and enjoy the stories behind the creation of two new video works, filmed in the artists’ ancestral homeland of Samoa.
In 2023, Tāmaki Makaurau-based artists Edith Amituanai (Aotearoa, Sāmoa) and Sione Tuívailala Monū (Aotearoa, Australia, Tonga) travelled to Sāmoa to celebrate a friend participating in the Miss Sāmoa Fa‘afafine Pageant. They also visited Amituanai’s family, including her Aunt Vaimoe who had recently returned to Sāmoa after several decades living in the United States.
