Malo e tau lava! Join the renowned Siosi’ana ‘Uheina Kalaniuvalu, and expert weavers Tae Tunaula Pahulu and Mapu Meihe Ngalu Vakameilalo, to learn (or remember) elements of Tongan weaving. During their visit to Sydney, the three women ‒ who are expert weavers and community leaders ‒ will deliver a series of workshops for those wishing to learn (or remember) some key elements of Tongan cultural weaving practices. This workshop will be delivered in Tongan.

Powerhouse and Blacktown Arts are excited to announce the first series of workshops delivered to be as part of WE’VE ‒ a new multi-year program to support, present, collect and amplify Pacific and Indigenous cultural weaving practices.
