Beyond the Waves - Exhibition Opening

Join us for the opening of a captivating collection of video works by Pacific Islander artists.

Beyond the waves, curated by renowned interdisciplinary artist Salote Tawale, gathers a compelling suite of video works by Pacific Islander artists who challenge, connect, and reimagine identity across oceans, histories, and generations.

Together, these works trace a rich network of stories - of place, memory, lineage, and belonging. They speak in distinct voices, each grounded deeply in the Pacific while simultaneously reaching outward, expanding the contours of contemporary dialogue. Woven together, they create a resonant and expansive chorus that reflects the vibrancy, strength, and diversity of Pacific Islander creative expression today.

This program stands as both a celebration of Pacific heritage and a powerful invitation to engage with the evolving narratives that shape the region’s past, animate its present, and inspire its many possible futures.
