Dr Lana Lopesi is an author, art critic and Editor in Chief of the Pacific Arts Legacy Project. She is also Interim Director of The Pantograph Punch, and a Lecturer in the School of Art and Design at AUT. Her new book Bloody Woman has just been released. It is a collection of essays, and is a deeply personal exploration of her experience of being Samoan and a woman. Dr Lopesi says writing the book was an attempt to break a silence, and feels "terrifying but right".
