PACIFIC ARTS FESTIVAL

9th-30th October 2021 St Martin in the Fields

Showcasing both heritage and contemporary arts, including a wide variety of visual art that has never been on show before, this exhibition took visitors on a journey across the Pacific region, highlighting the impact climate change is having on small island nations, including Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea, and how Pacific communities are fighting back. Income from artwork sales directly assisted Pacific Islanders who had been so badly affected by the Covid pandemic. Artists showing in the exhibition included Nicolai Michoutouchkine, Irami Buli, John Danger and Robert Kua.

Curated by Sulu Daunivalu (Director, Museum of Pacific & Oceanic Art, Latvia)

Produced by Pacific Island Artists Connection (Katrina Talei Igglesden & Vanessa Eden) in association with ORIGINS.
