The wealth of feminist art by Pacific women Aoteaora and across Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, the Pacific Ocean, is being celebrated in a new exhibition at Toi o Tamaki Auckland Art Gallery. Ane Tonga, the gallery's inaugural Curator of Pacific Art has spent a couple of years selecting work that encompasses sculpture and moving image through to performance art. Gender and the politics of representation are ideas she's explored in her own art practice over the years. She's calling the exhibition Declaration: A Pacific Feminist Agenda. Lynn Freeman spoke to her and to one of the artists included in the show, Suzanne Tamaki, who uses fashion and photography to create images with strong political and cultural messages.
