Celebrating Melanesia
Join us in June for two days of gathering and talking as we explore the rich and diverse creative expressions of Melanesia.
Tok Talanoa invites you to engage in thought-provoking conversations from local artists, celebrate brilliance, and deepen your understanding of this region.
This event sits alongside three exhibitions at Pātaka – The Ulumate Project, Red Wave Blue Wave and Sanup Wantaim. We look forward to welcoming you to Tok Talanoa.
Tok Talanoa was the first Melanesian arts symposium in Aotearoa supported by Creative New Zealand.
