APT9 performance/ Tungaru: The Kiribati Project

DELVE DEEPER into APT9 https://blog.qagoma.qld.gov.au/category/qagoma/asia-pacific-triennial/ SUBSCRIBE to be the first to go behind-the-scenes/ The performances by the Brisbane Kiribati community feature song and dance in response to the ‘Tungaru: The Kiribati Project’ included in ‘The 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’ (APT9).

Tungaru is a collaborative project inspired by the strong connections that New Zealand born artist Chris Charteris has made with his ancestral homeland and extended i-Kiribati family. The indigenous name for Kiribati is Tungaru, which means to gather together in a joyous way.
