Bula Vinaka,

I’m on the steering committee for the MBC Pacific Artist in Residence programme. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Luisa Tora, an interdisciplinary artist who has spent her residency editing a research film about the traditional Fijian female tattooing practice of veiqia.

Please join our current resident Luisa Tora this Thursday, the 14th, 12.30pm, in the level seminar room at School of Fine Art, for a seminar open to all students and the wider public on Luisa’s residency.

Here’s the Facebook event posting for the seminar if you would like to view further information or share on Social Media.

You can also view her current exhibition which thanks to Caroline, the MB Library has loaned some books to:

iLakolako ni weniqia: A Veiqia Project exhibition

 Dr Tarisi Sorovi-Vunidilo, Margaret Aull, Donita Vatuinaruku Hulme, Joana Monolagi, Dulcie Stewart, and Luisa Tora

25 September – 31 October 2021, Physics Room Gallery, Christchurch Art Centre
