Join us in person or online for the reading group Vā Moana Research Cluster, led by architectural historian and theorist Dr Albert L Refiti.

Based at Auckland University of Technology’s School of Art and Design but with a far-reaching network of international scholars, Vā Moana’s research transforms ways of thinking about contemporary and customary Pacific understandings of the world, by examining Indigenous Moana modes of producing space, objects, rituals and performance.

The texts for this session will focus on two cosmogony origin stories: ‘Solo O Le Vā’ from Samoa and ‘Tala Tupuʻanga ʻo e Fonuá’ from Tonga.
