LUMI fosters authentic cultural collaboration, reciprocity and relationships between First Nations and Pasifika peoples across the island of Lutruwita. LUMI celebrates the ancient pathways of the Pacific, where ocean currents have carried stories, knowledge and peoples between islands since time immemorial.

Aboriginal and Pasifika peoples have long been connected through shared stewardship of these vast blue waters. Developed in collaboration between communities, this intimate program of workshops and events preserves and promotes traditional knowledge, forging bonds across communities and inviting the wider public to experience and share traditional cultural practices of song, dance, ceremony and food.

LUMI weaves together the wisdom of island peoples, honouring ancient connections while nurturing new ones.

SUGA performances

SUGA (Grace Vanilau, Natalia Mann, Folole Tupuola and Lila Meleisea) invite you to join them on a unique multi-dimensional live activation.  

Through song, spoken word, music, video and dance, they celebrate and honour Samoan ancient histories, ancestors and traditions.  

This performance breathes new life into the oldest Samoan siapo (bark cloth) measina/treasures, brought into the Moonah Arts Centre exhibition space from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.  

Set within the exhibition space, audiences will immerse themselves in the SA/MOA Project’s core experience.  

Each member of SUGA is a distinguished artist, and together, they have crafted this compelling new work, nurtured on the lands of the Palawa/Pakana people in Lutruwita. 

FRI 21 MAR 2pm to 3.15pm

SAT 22 MAR 12.30pm to 1:45pm

SAT 22 MAR 6pm to 7.15pm
