Valevalenoa: articulations of 'ata' #1

Last week, we held our first ‘valevalenoa’ — a speculative discussion space in which to turn ideas around freely and without direction. We are beginning this event series with articulations of the Moananui notion of ‘ata’, exploring its relation to concepts of the ‘image’ in creative practice. The first session opened with a presentation of research-in-progress by doctoral candidate, Rosanna Raymond. Thanks to everyone who participated, and to Samoa House Library for hosting us!
