About

Experience a performance of song, stories and dance by KAWAKI within their immersive audiovisual installation in the Asia Pacific Triennial.

Over one year and four months, women from Katupika, Wagina and Kia communities in the Solomon Islands collaborated with Dreamcast Theatre, a collective based in the capital, Honiara to create this artwork and accompanying performance which celebrates KAWAKI’s ongoing caretaking of natural resources which are vital to the continuation of these communities’ distinctive cultural practices.

Written and directed by Gillian Oti, Dreamcast Theatre. Performed by Lavinia Pupuru Denson, Mone Patrick Rimon, Indy Oreba Mereki, Margery Abuofa Zesapa, Tracy Agnes Lamana & Dilly Nadariko Maezama.

This project is supported by the Commonwealth through the Office for the Arts, part of the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts and QAGOMA’s Oceania Women’s Fund. (The project) is a collaboration between Dreamcast Theatre, Kawaki Women Collective and the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art for APT11, with the assistance of The Nature Conservancy.
